The section of the peach-house at page 333 will convey an idea of the usual configuration of the vinery. On the preceding page, Fig. 36 represents a sec- tion and a ground-plan of a curvilinear vinery (having a mush-room-house behind), heated by hot water. A vinery, with flues and- two furnaces, is generally fifty feet long, twelve or fourteen wide within, the height of the back wall being ten or twelve feet. Where there is only one surface, or where a hot-water apparatus is employed, the length of the house should not exceed thirty-five or forty feet. Small divisions are to be preferred; for where there is a considerable extent of glass, the cultivator, by applying his fires to the different divisions in succession, can prolong the crop from May to December. The para- pet wall in front is commonly arched, or built on lintels, supported by stone pillars; so that the vines, which are planted inside the house, close by the parapet, may send abroad their roots in search of nutriment. Sometimes the vines are planted without, and introduced into the house by slanting apertures in the front wall; but the former method, where possible, is the more eligible. The trellis usei for training is generally formed of wires drawn across the rafters, at the distance of a foot from each other.
