About This Book

The text is a practical manual for designing and operating structures used in grape and general horticulture, presenting house positions, forms, and detailed construction. It describes heating systems (flues, steam, tanks, hot-water), hot-beds and cold pits, glazing, ventilation, and protection techniques for half-hardy plants. Dozens of architectural plans illustrate propagating houses, greenhouses, graperies, and combinations for varied sites including city lots and orchards, with measurements, materials, and management instructions. Emphasis lies on preserving heat, regulating moisture, and efficient plant propagation and forcing throughout seasonal cycles.
