2127. HEREMAN, SAMUEL, 7 Pall Mall East, London.

Sir Joseph Paxton's patent hothouses for the million.

These HOTHOUSES are made of the very best seasoned red deal, and as the sashes are much stronger than those generally used in ordinary old-fashioned structures, they will, if properly erected, stand as permanent buildings proportionably longer. Whilst thus suited for a permanency, they are also particularly adapted for persons having temporary tenures, as they can be so fixed that at the expiration of a tenancy they may with ease be packed up and removed like any other furniture. Their moderate cost places them within the reach of all. As span-roofs, they are adapted for orchard houses, vineries, pineries, and indeed every horticultural purpose; and to all who have walls already standing they offer immense advantages, as they can be formed into ranges of lean-to houses, with facility and at an extremely low cost.
