Were it not that the culture of vines in pots requires con- siderable skill and labour, we would have thought it a more judicious mode to have grown the early crops in that way, than planted out over a heated vault. In the case of pot-culture, the vines could be removed entirely from the house while the late ones were brought to perfection. The dimensions of this house are precisely the same as the last. c, heated chamber; d, floor line of back sheds; e, floor line of cellars ; g, stoke- hole in ground-plan; k, boiler.

The annexed section (fig. 421) of a vinery for growing vines in pots, was designed for a gentleman in Scotland, who wished an economical house for this purpose. The section shows the position of the vines in pots placed over the flues, but elevated from them by a brick or two, according to the heat kept up in them.
