LONDON: PUBLISHED BY J. TAYLOR, AT THE ARCHITECTURAL LIBRARY, 59, HIGH 110LE0RN. 1807 - r , Hensley, 1’iinter, Suit Couit, fleet itreet. PREFACE. Botany, an elegant and interesting study, has lately become a favourite pur- suit among the higher classes of the community; and the attention to forcing of plants, flowers, and fruits, for the table, has increased the demand for Horticultural Buildings of every description. The author therefore hopes this Collection of Plans now offered to the Public, will be found an acceptable production, as various specimens of the different kinds are given, suitable to most situations; viz. Green-houses, Houses for forcing Flowers, Roses, &c. Conservatories, Pineries, Peacheries, and Vineries; also an example of an Aquarium,. the only one ever built on such a construction. This Collection will be particularly acceptable, as it exhibits Plans of such Houses only as have been actually built; and as they are dispersed throughout different parts of the kingdom, noblemen and gentlemen in their several neighbourhoods, have an opportunity of appealing to the buildings themselves, and of making an examination of what merits they really possess. These buildings have chiefly been executed from the author’s own designs; the others from designs of W. T. Aiton, Esq. His Majesty’s Gardener at Kew and Kensington. No speculative or experimental designs are here shewn; but such only as have been actually built, and which have been found to answer the purposes for which they were constructed. No stronger proof can be offered for the verity of this assertion, than a desire that the buildings should be inves¬ tigated. The Plans now made public have been selected from a great number, which have been executed by the author, who, in the course of a long expe¬ rience, both in designing and executing buildings of this description, has been enabled to make many valuable improvements in their construction ; and he begs leave to appeal to the noble and respectable characters whose names are 6 mentioned in this work, for a corroboration of the approbation with which they have been received. Several publications and inventions have lately been submitted to the pub¬ lic, purporting to suggest new improvements on Horticultural Buildings, for some of which Patents have been obtained; of these, various have been found impracticable in the execution, and the principles of their construction aban¬ doned; and others, which have been held forth as possessing wonderful ad¬ vantages in the saving of fuel, which must ever be an important object in constructing such buildings, have had no such effect; on the contrary, they have been found, from the few specimens that have been tried, completely to fail. The author is warranted in stating these facts, from the information he has collected from gardeners, who may be presumed to be the best judges for appreciating the merits or demerits of such buildings. The improvements which he has made in the construction of Hot¬ houses, have chiefly been gathered in the course of a long practice in this par¬ ticular kind of employment, and have arisen from practical observations of his own, aided by the suggestions of many gardeners, eminent in their pro¬ fession. These improvements are founded on the most simple principles, unconnected with any of those complex and unintelligible schemes which generally have led gentlemen who have adopted them to a great expence, and yet ultimately have failed in their purpose. An important improvement in the construction of Flues, invariably adopted by the author, is, to form a void space under those flues that are built upon the ground, as it prevents the damps which rise from the ground, obstructing the draught, and also gives free liberty for the air heated by the bottom of the flue, to ascend by the side cavities into the house. Another improvement is, to have in every case a narrow space or cavity between the wall and that side of the flue which is next to it, contrary to the common practice, which is, to build the flues close to such walls, without any cavity; and in many cases 7 part of the flue is formed in the wall itself; this mode, it is obvious to every one, is of bad consequence, as a great quantity of the heated air will be absorbed by the mass of brickwork to which the flue is attached. In short, every flue ought to stand unconnected with any external wall of such buildings as those under discussion, except where it enters from the Are. No cavity ought to be left between the flue and the wall where it immediately enters the building; or if a cavity is left, the heat occasioned by the fire ought to be confined in the cavity, and be conveyed some distance into the house, before it is suffered to escape: were it allowed to escape from the flue by cavities immediately on its entering the house, that part would be overheated, and a regular diffusion of the rarefied air would not take place. Pargeting the interior of flues is also a bad practice; grouting with lime and sand is preferable. Another improvement the author adopts is, to putty the laps of the glass on the roof, this prevents the admission of external air; and the laps ought not to be more than three-eights of an inch; in severe frosts great expence is incurred by the glass breaking, if glazed in the common way; caused chiefly by the expansion of the frozen water, which occupies the space between the laps; filling up these spaces with putty, is therefore preferable, or at least of equal utility with leaded laps; much less expensive, and more durable. The light and elegant appearance given by the author to his buildings, so far as regards the carpenter and joiner’s work, and more especially to the roofs, he would particularly recommend. The quantity of timber used in the roofs of many buildings of this sort, adds much to the expence, while it pre¬ vents the admission of a considerable quantity of light, and loads unnecessarily the external walls. An inspection of any of his buildings will best shew the pleasant and elegant manner in which they are constructed. King’s Road, Sloane Square, London. 8 In order fully to demonstrate the advantages attending on the author’s mode of building flues for Hot-houses, on the proper construction of which so much depends, a Plate is given, which shews at large the va¬ rious kinds of flues which he has found necessary to introduce in dif¬ ferent situations. Plate. I. Fig. A. is a section of a flue under a pathway; a cavity or space is left between the wall and the side of the flue, which is formed by three bricks laid on edge; the flue is seven inches in width: an¬ other cavity is formed on the other side of the flue, bounded by a wall built against the ground. The top is covered with stone paving, and at interme¬ diate distances, apertures are cut through the paving, to receive the cast-iron fretted gratings represented by Fig'. B. which allow the heated air in the cavities to escape into the house: a stone is placed in the wall, in which is cut a groove to receive the gratings that are placed over the cavity next it. The bottom of the flue is formed with plain tiles laid lengthways, which rest on bricks placed at a proper distance cross the bottom of the flue : the inter¬ mediate space between the bricks receives the damps emitted from the ground, and prevents the draught of the flue from being checked, which it otherwise would be, were it formed on the ground; also the heated air from the bottom of the flue passes into the side cavities, and from thence into the house. Fig. C is the section of a double flue above the ground, the bottom of which is constructed in the same manner as the one already described. The sides of the flue are formed with bricks laid on edge, and the flue being seven inches wide, makes the whole a convenient width to be covered with foot tiles; under the joints ought to be laid a piece of sheet-iron, hoop-iron, or slate, to prevent the smoke penetrating through the joints of the tiles. Fig. D is an elevation of part of a double flue above ground, in which are represented the spaces under the bottom, already mentioned. Fig. E represents the furnace, and the flue entering the house and ascend¬ ing to its proper height. The top of the furnace is formed with an iron plate, and also the sides. The bottom is formed with bars in the usual way, to let the ashes drop into an ash-pit underneath. Fig. F is the section of a front flue. /'/ (I / ( I .Introducin'!
