Gardening. 2672. As a peach-house for a main crop, we would suggest a polyprosopic roof, with the sashes (Jig. 449. a) opening on the principle of Venetian blinds; the flue (d) may- pass round the house, and the trellis (c) be placed between the flue and front glass; both the flues and front glass may be supported on cast-iron props (<?). The length may be forty feet, breadth and height twelve feet. 449. 2673. Peach-houses and vineries combined. It is a common practice to combine the vinery and peach-house, and to train the vines close under the glass, and the peach-trees against the back wall (Jig. 450. a); or to train the peach-trees against the back wall, and also on a flat or table trellis, in the middle of the house (6); but if the house be wide, neither modes are advisable, on account of the distance of the plants from the glass ; and even in narrow houses, it can only be considered as a temporary expedient till the 450.
