ARTICLE V.— On Bell Pots, for striking Cuttings of 

 Plants under. By An Olv> Subscriber. 



I have sent \ i sections of five diff rent sized Bell Pots, for in- 

 sertion in the Cabinet. If you approve of the plan, I should be 

 glad to see its insertion at an early period. I am persuaded it 

 would be generally acceptable to your readers. 



The following are the clear openings at the top of each Bell Pot.

The above are outside dimensions at the bottom of each Bell Pot. 



I am confident that Bell Pots, constructed as directed, would be 

 found an exceedingly (heap and useful substitute for Bell Glasses, 

 under which it is usual to strike cuttings of plants. I think, if 

 made of porous materials, and not glazed inside, as the potter 

 !• mis ii, they would answer much better for seeds or cuttings than 

 Bell Glosses, because the moisture would be absorbed by the pot, 

 and evaporated from its exterior surface, instead of being condensed 



in flu glasses, and by dropping upon the plants or soil, often 

 rotting the cuttings, \nother advantage would be afforded, inaa«
