Gardening. GREENHOUSES AND FRAMES 219. Hitchings' small greenhouses, 10ft. by 17ft., suitable for so many moderate-sized suburban places The greenhouse builders are always wiUing to give advice, or to estimate for the erection of a greenhouse, emd it would be well to con- sult them whenever a building is contemplated. The best results are usually obtained from span-roofed houses run- ning eeist and west, although any Ught position is satisfactory. The site should not be on wet or low ground, nor any very greatly exposed place, and the span-roofed type is generally preferred, although lean- toS or three-quarter span houses with the long slope' to the south, are also excellent. Some of the most beautiful, and we would say comfprtable, conservatories we have seen were attached to the drawing room, or led into from the drawing room, thus making a light, beautiful lounge or extra drawing room. A billiard room can be built also in contiguity, and if the conservatory is large enough, aviaries, and aquaria for fancy fish,- may be provided. In other instances we have seen the conservatory set a little way out from the house, and connected with the latter by means of a glass corridor. Very beautiful results can be attained by planting vines and training them under the roof glass. It should be mentioned that many of these greenhouses can be used for the growing of Tomato or Melon crops, or for the raising of early vegetables in the Spring if that is thought Please n
