Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hints on the Construction and Management of Orchard-Houses
Of these structures have been erected in such a rough and imperfect manner, that they are inefficient for the purpose they were intended to serve, and are anything but an ornament to the gardens in which they are placed. Knowing that every failure was a fact eagerly welcomed by those who oppose everything new, I wished to show that before the system could be fairly tried, it was necessary to have a house adapted for the purpose, and a cer tain amount of information on the part of the person having the care of it. The gradual improvement which has taken place in building orchard-houses shows that these impressions were not without foundation. The success of my little book was as gratifying as it was unexpected.
