 glasses being laid on, and the beds covered at night, will soon 

 promote the growth of the plants, and produce vegetable 

 luxuries at a season when garden products in general are 

 comparatively scarce. 



It is unnecessary to show of how much value such pro- 

 cesses may be in minor establishments, or in a young country. 

 I wish it to be understood, that in order to the successful 

 cultivation of some of the rare vegetables I have treated of, 

 great pains must be taken in every stage of their gi'owth. 

 If the advice I have given be attended to, I flatter myself 

 we shall soon obtain a supply of many of these luxuries of 

 the garden. My directions are founded on the success 

 attending the practice of some of the best gardeners in this 

 country. I have also had sufficient experience to wan'ant 

 rae in this attempt to contribute my mite toward the attam* 

 ment of this kind of useful knowledge.
