If the cultivator, however, prefers to construct a fruii house, he should select a dry, gravelly place, and excavate it to a convenient depth, and of the size desired. It is very easily constructed. A double wall, with a few inches space between, which may be filled with charcoal, tan bark^ or straw, will be advantageous in preserving a more equal temperature. The bins or shelves should be so constructed as to allow room to pass between them and the outer wall. In such a room as this, or in the cellar above named, many kinds of Pears will require nothing more than to be kept in tight boxes or barrels, to preserve them. Other varieties may be kept on the shelves. As a general rule, however^ the fruit, papered separately, and put in small boxes or kegs, and kept closely headed, will retain more of its freshness and flavor, than by any other method.
