Place two stages, such as are used for greenhouse plants, back to hack, fronting 
east and west, (fig. 44) and form the shelves into boxes («) of a suflScient depth 
for soil, and of any convenient length; a sort of frame, or square trellis, (Jt) should

be raised a sufficient height above the boxes, to support mats for protection 
against frost and stormy weather; such boxes, the writer says, would be much 
better than a sloping bed, as they would receive the moisture better, as well as 
the heat from the ddng.(e) The same scheme might, perhaps, answer for growing 
early fruits, trained on trellises in the position of the proteeting covers. In win¬ 
ter draw the stages from under the protecting trellis, empty the boxes, and turn 
them upside down, to protect Lettuce, Endive, &c , from wet and frost.
