Fruit Protectors
In the northern and other parts of the country, where Apricots, Peaches, &c., do not succeed in the open air, on account of the annual destruction of the flowers by frost, an erection of a glass protector above them may frequently be found of great value. The framework should be fixed on stout brackets, and glazed on a system that admits of the glass being removed in summer to allow rain and plenty of air to get to the trees. Netting, frigidomo, or other coverings, may be suspended from the front of the glass Protector, in the direction shown by the dotted line. a portable Plant and fruit Protector is usually a very useful structure for growing any dwarf subjects in summer, and for storing plants, such as Strawberries, in winter.
