kept, and only a small sum so collected, 

 her ladyship trebles the amount. I 

 add my own mite, and each foreman 

 theirs, as a sort of compound for any 

 matter that may have slipped our 

 memories, c. ; the amount is then 

 placed in the Savint/s Bank, as a re- 

 serve sum in case oi' illness, &c. We 

 have the same order and regulation 

 kept in each tool-shed that is to say, 

 the tool-shed of each department that; 

 I need here describe only one. The 

 tool- shed of the hothouse and flower- 

 garden department is a lean-to shed at 

 the back of a hothouse, substantially 

 built, and covered with slate : length, 

 fifty -four feet; width, thirteen feet; 

 height at back, fifteen feet ; and height 

 in front, nine feet ; paved all through 

 with Yorkshire flag-stones, which are 

 neatly swept up every night, the last 

 thing, and washed every Saturday, 

 thoroughly. There is a door at each 

 end, and one in the centre of the front 

 wall, and a window on each side of the 

 centre door. Strong beams are thrown 



Seeds, in flower-beds or > across from front to back, and strong 



j planks laid on them, which form a 



i useful loft for placing mats, stakes, 



I laths for tally making, brooms, nets, 



I canvass for covering and shading, etc., 



<fcc. Within two feet of the roof, against 



1 the back wall, is placed a row of pegs 



the whole length of the shed, for hang- 



j ing the long-handled tools, such as 



I grass and leaf rakes, long-handled 



I Dutch hoes and iron rakes, &c. ; on 



i the next row of pegs, the whole length 



| of the shed, are placed the various 



I kinds of draw hoes, tan forks, dung 



forks and prongs, strong forks for 



digging and surface-stirring, spades 



and shovels of various kinds, pickaxes, 



mattocks and bills, dung drags, edging 



shears, &c. ; on a third row of pegs, 



still lower, are placed the water pots, 



all numbered, with initials as well, 



thus B, G 45, or 60, whatever the 



number may run to; underneath those 



is a row more of pegs, for placing the 



noses of the water pots thus the back 



wall is furnished. The front wall, 



half-way, is furnished with shelves for 



placing shreds and nails, rope yarn, 



tallies, flower pegs, whetstones, rubber 



or scythe-stones, and many other smll 



Stove, white-flowered evergreens. Cuttings 

 of young, stubby side-shoots, in sand, under a

 loam, and a little peat or leaf-mould. Winter 

 temp., 50 to 60; summer, 60 to 80.

TOOL-HOUSE. Upon this too-much- 

 neglected garden edifice, Mr. Barnes, 

 of Bicton Gardens, says : " Have a 

 place for everything, and everything in 

 its place ; kept in good condition, and 

 at all times put away clean ; for omis- 

 sion of which have rules and fines 

 placed in each of the tool-houses, re- 

 gularly enforced, and payment de- 

 manded for each fine on the labourers' 

 pay-day. At Bicton, a book is kept for 

 entering each fine, and a separate ac- 

 count given of each fine, and for what, 

 or why, it was enforced ; annually, 

 Lady Kolle doubles the amount so 

 collected, and if good order has been
