184< IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CULTURE, &C. 



Where pits on Mr. West's plan are already built, 

 a substitute for this perforation in the side walls 

 may be found in the application of a wattled 

 hurdle against them (Jig. %4>. b), as has been adopt- 

 ed by Mr. J. B. Mackay, in the Comte de Vande's 

 garden at Bayswater. 



Remarks. All the schemes of improvement de- 

 tailed in this section, are either of a nature never 

 to become general, if they do succeed, as that of 

 Count Zuboff; or not yet sufficiently proved by 

 experience to be recommended for adoption, as the 

 application of steam as a bottom heat by Mr. 

 Hay. We therefore leave them to work their way 

 with the public ; and, in the mean time, till these, 

 as well as Mr. Knight's experiments have esta- 

 blished something better, we recommend all those 

 who wish to grow the Pine Apple in the first style 

 of excellence, and at a moderate expence, to adopt 

 the pits and houses of Mr. Baldwin or Mr. Aiton ; 

 and to imitate their practice, or that of Mr. 

 Andrews.
