When well up, the pots are re- will be sufficiently warm. If copiously moved, except when chimney pots are supplied with water, the plants vege- used, and large hand-glasses substi- tate rapidly and vigorously, and each tuted; covering is required every night, I pot will produce three successional and in dull weather with thick mats By this mode the plants are very liable to be broken, as their leaves soon touch the sides. A frame is much less objec- tionable, formed by driving stakes into the ground on each side of the bed, al- ternating with the plants. These are to be three feet high above ground, and the space between the two rows of stakes two feet at the bottom, but approach- ing each other, and fastened by cross pieces, so as to be only fifteen inches apart at top. To the sides and top stout laths are fixed to prevent the dung fall- ing upon the plants, as represented in the accompanying sketch. Fig. 147. The dung may either be fresh, or Jhat which has previously undergone fermentation, and placed all round the frame eight,or ten inches thick, and the top covered with long litter. The tem- perature in the interior should have a range from 55° to 60°. If it rises higher, two or three large holes made through the top soon corrects it. A frame renders hand-glasses or an
