VINES IN PEACH-HOUSES. 
N order to make the most of the means at 
one’s disposal, it is frequently necessary to 
fall out of the common rut; and amongst 
other things, glass structures have to be turned 
to purposes foreign to those for which they 
were intended when they were built. How¬ 
ever, the growing of Vines and Peaches together 
is an old practice, and some of the best fruit 
of both which I have ever seen, have come out 
of the same house ! The difficulty in the case 
of the peaches usually arises from their exclusion 
from light and air by the vines which are 
overhead ; but by training the vines under the 
rafters (when they are present), and keeping 
the shoots thin, lashing each neatly to the 
vines so that the end of the one shoot finishes 
where the other begins, but little harm will 
be occasioned by the exclusion of light. 
We have seen vines and peaches—both of 
them doing well—which have been grown 
together for many years, the vines being trained 
outwards, but kept closely stopped. The 
rafters were of the old-fashioned type—heavy, 
and a good distance apart. Ours are iron and 
copper houses, which seem to want a little 
extra shading of some kind, so that we find the 
vines by no means objectionable to the peaches 
trained immediately beneath them, and up the 
back wall. 
In one house, 33 feet long, six hundred or
