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.

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.
