wall in existence, build a 9 inch brick 
wall 2 feet high to carry the front, ends 
and roof of the house. The front lights 
should be aboolt 2 feet 6 inches deep from 
brickwork to eaves of roof. You require 
a long roof for a vinery, therefore give 
the roof a sharp pitch; the advantages 
of a sharp pitch are many, the leaves of 
the Vines do not readily scotch, nor the 
berries; the latter colour better and cer¬ 
tainly keep sound longer in the autumn 
and early part of winter. Moreover, the 
long, sharp pitch gives you a longer Vine 
rod and a heavier crop of grapes from the 
same area of ground. 
Be content with one door in one end of 
the house, unless the latter is a long one, 
or leads into another 'house adjoining. 
Many doors cause draughts. Use weil 
seasoned red deal and 21 oz. glass 
throughout. Cheap glass causes burning 
of leaves and scalding of berries.

How to Obtain the Highest 
Results in the Garden. 
The development of all plants depends 
upon the amount and quality of the food 
they obtain from the soil. In many cases 
the soil is deficient in one or the other of 
the essential elements of Plant' Life. 
FERTILO supplies that deficiency. It 
imparts lo the soil those exact properties 
on which the plant thrives and acting as a 
Fertilizer through the soil it strengthens 
and develops all plants. Note its inex¬
