PLATE II. 
A Pit for forcing peaches : a form much esteemed, and used at present both for pines as well as 
peaches: (for pines, with only the addition of a pit for bark, and a path, with barely head room to walk 
in; its similarity to this in ever}'other respect has prevented me from making it part of the second 
number). I he trees are planted on the outside, and admitted into the house, without disturbing 
the lie of the sashes, by means of a dovetail piece * in the wall plate, and over the groove, which is 
seen in the wall where the stem rests, of such a width as to accommodate its increase, without 
pinching, whatever time it may remain there. The chinks around it are to be filled with moss, to 
prevent the heat escaping. 
A, plan, the furnace placed at the end to give a greater range to the flue, which is detached from 
the wall all round about two inches, and tied to it by a brick on edge, at every three or four feet 
distance. 
B, elevation, the tree seen in the groove at the end ; part of the longitudinal section shewing the 
return of the flue. 
C, end section, the gradual ascent of the flue from the furnace ; and the door seen, for cleaning 
and ventilating the stove. 
D, centre section, the tree shewn on the treillage.
