“HOT-HOUSES, or STOVES, are buildings erected for preserving such tender exotic plants, natives of the warmer and hottest regions, as will not live in the respective countries where they are introduced, without artificial warmth in winter . . . .
“These stove departments are generally constructed in an oblong manner, ranging in a straight line east and west, with the glass front and roof fully exposed to the south sun” (p. 84)
