. The book of the garden. Gardening. ORCHID-HOUSES. 407 on the roof; and, when that is insufficient, by a pipe from the general reservoir. This house joins the camellia-house on one end, and the second orchid-house on the other. In the section fig. 558 the arrangement will be seen more clearly: a a a are the Fig. 558. season, heated. flues ; d the cistern of water; c the centre or principal plant-table; e the front table ; / the back table ; g front ventilators; h ridge ventilator ; i support of ridge ; h h iron rods supporting the rafters, to enable them to sustain the weight of plants suspended from them ; I back ventila- tion, —the cold air entering the house close to the floor level.

These rafters, considerably reduced in size, and the sashes re-glazed, are the same which formed the vineries in the old garden at Dalkeith; they were made in London about the year 1762, and brought to Scotland in a vessel freighted on purpose; and such is the state of the wood-work at the present day, that we predict they will last longer than any of the houses built by our- selves of new material within the last ten years. The plants are set on plat- forms of open wood-work, to admit of the free circulation of both heat and air around them, as well as to keep the roots moderately dry; for we are not of those who cultivate plants, the majority of which grow naturally sus- pended from the stems and branches of trees, on shelves of stone flooded with water. The front ventilators g are built in the front parapet wall in the usual man- ner ; the ridge ones are lids which lift up and down, and are operated upon by means of a rod to push them up, and a line to pull them down. We intro- duced smoke-flues into this house, having built it in haste towards the end of the intending afterwards to have tank in the centre, and hot-water pipes round the sides. It, howe
