PLATE XL 
A Stove intended for tender Exotics, the plan, part of the elevation, and longitudinal section 
shewn , the loof is pointed, and glazed on both sides, that on the west side only having moveable 
sashes, the circular glazed end is placed directly south. The rafters are morticed into the ridge 
plate, and are supported by columns on the pit wall, morticed into themselves. When these are 
thought not sufficient to prevent the roof from spreading, either, or both of the following methods, 
may be used. An iron bar three quarters or one inch diameter, flatted at both ends, should be let 
into each pair of rafters, above the heads of the columns, and pinned through (as seen in the roof, 
fig. B, Plate XXIII.), or studs may be brought up in the wall, the plate morticed upon them, and 
the rafters shouldered upon that, will effectually secure them. Opposite the path a niche is seen, 
with a seat in it. If vines are introduced from the outside, and trained from the rafters, round the 
bars, they will prevent them from appearing unsightly.
