TEMPERATURE is one of the most 

 important circumstances connected with 

 the cultivation of plants ; for upon its 

 proper regulation and just accommoda- 

 tion to the intensity of light, depend, in 

 the chief degree, whether a plant is 

 healthy, and capable of performing its 

 functions. Every seed has its appro- 

 priate temperature for germinating (see 

 Germination] ; every root has a tem- 

 perature in which it imbibes food most 

 favourably (see Bottom-heat}; and every 

 leaf has a temperature in which it 

 respires most vigorously (see Leaves 

 and Night Temperature}. 



TEMPLES dedicated to some deity of 

 the heathen mythology, as to Pan in a 

 grove, or to Flora among bright sunny 

 parterres, are not inappropriate, if the 

 extent of the grounds and the expendi- 

 ture on their management allow them 

 to be of that size, and of that correct- 

 ness of style, which give the classic 

 air and dignity that are their only 

 sources of pleasure.
