These frames are made of very rough wood; are narrow— not exceeding four feet in width; and arranged in close lines completely immersed in the heating-material. They are usually about twenty inches high at the back and fourteen in front. Undoubtedly the principle is better and cheaper than our own. We employ large and well-made frames in private gardens, and for the most part place them so that all but the base is exposed to the influence of the weather.
