THE MELON PIT. 83 



pit, at 38. each = 231. 5s. for Melons ; and then the pit 

 could be used from July until November for bringing 

 on flowering plants, such as Primulas, Cinerarias, &c. 

 without heat ; so that it is plain enough that the cost 

 of such a pit can be repaid by its own capacity within 

 one year.
