Excerpt from Hints on the Construction and Management of Orchard-Houses
The first edition of this little book was written under the conviction that erroneous ideas of the construction and management of orchard-houses were calculated to retard the spread of this delightful mode of cultivating fruit trees. An opinion appears to be prevalent, that any kind of a wooden shed covered with glass is an orchard-house, and that any or no management would have for its result the production of a good crop of fruit. Whilst travelling in Scotland I heard of houses, the sides of which, being made of half-inch boards, and these not closely joined, afforded such imperfect protection, that, in that severe climate, even the trees were killed during winter.
