For the sake of permanence, however, a vinery of this kind is usually built of brick; the ends and front wall eight inches thick ; the back wall a foot thick—or eight inches with occa- sional abutments to increase its strength. In fig. 92 (I) is shown a simple plan of a vinery of this kind. In this the surface of the ground is shown at a, below which, the founda- tion walls are sunk three feet. Above the surface the from wall b, rises two feet, the back wall c, twelve feet, and the width of the house is fourteen feet. On these walls are placed the raft- ers, from three to four feet distant, with the sashes in Fig. 92, Flan and section of a vinery, with fire-heoL tWO lengths. In the present example the flues are kept out of the way, and the space clear, by placing them in a square walled space, di- rectly under the walk ; the walk itself being formed by an open grating or lattice, through which the heat rises freely. The arrangement of the flue will be better understood by referring to the ground plan (II.) In this the furnace is indicated at d, iU the back wall ;* from this the flue rises gradually to e, whence it continues nearly the length of the house, and return- ing enters the chimney at f. For the convenience of shelter, firing, etc., it is usual to have a hack shed, g, behind the back wall. In this shed may be a bin for wood or coals, and a sunk area (shown in the dotted lines around d, f,) with steps to de- scend to the furnace and There are two doors hy in the vinery at either end of the walk. * This furnace should be placed two feet below the level of the flue at e, in or- der to secure a draught, after which it may be carried quite level till it enters the chinaney. An air chamber may be formed round it, with a register to admit heat- ed air to the house w
