There is a peculiarity in the constructio7i of plant-stoves which deserves particularly to be noticed;namel), that fewer openings for the admission of air are requisite than in any other hot-house, exceptingthe pine-stove. One reason of this is, tliat the degree of heat which must at all times be kept up in theenclosed atmosphere, is so much greater than that of the open air, that the difference in the specific gravityof the two fluids, when permitted to mingle by opening two or three sashes, produces a more active circul-ation, and sooner approaches to an equilibrium of temperature : another is, that however numerous theopenings in the hot-house roof may
