The pathways should bepaved with tiles, brick or stone, or made of concrete and cement, andthe surface should be gently rounded so that the water required forevaporation may drain to the sides while the centre is sufficientlydry to walk upon; they should also have brick or stone edgings toprevent the water so applied soaking away at the sides and thusbeing wasted. Fruit Houses.—The principal of these are the vinery, peachhouse, cucumber and melon house and orchard house.
