 In the annexed plan, (Fig 3) one side of the potting-room is 

 fitted up with a counter, in the top of which there is a well, sixteen 

 inches square by eight inches deep. In the middle of this well is 

 fixed a block of wood, eight inches square by six inches thick, leav- 

 ing a space of four inches all round. The top of this block is two 

 inches below that of the counter. The use of the block is to set the 

 pots upon when potting, arid the well round it is to hold the mould 

 and keep it together. The space upon the top of the counter on each 

 side of the well, is to place the pots upon as they are filled. Imme- 

 diately under that part of the counter on the left of the well, are two 

 drawers, one to hold tools, the other bass matting, cut into lengths of 

 nine, fifteen, and twenty-four inches, to be ready for tying up plants. 

 To the right of the well is a drawer for potsherds, for the use of 

 drainage. The space under the drawers and well is divided into 

 three bins — one for holding compost for annuals ; another, com- 

 post for greenhouse plants ; and a third, for any other compost tha
