In the vestibule, stand plants in boxes or pots ; being fine 

 specimens, or fine flowering plants, of Orange-trees, Camellias, 

 Proteas, the Chinese magnolias, Buonapartea juncea, Croweas 

 Gardenias in flower, and Erythrina cristagalli (which last, 

 when cut down and forced a little, will flower three times in 

 the season) These plants are in flower great part of the 

 summer, and are succeeded by camellias, salvia colorata, 

 chrysanthemums, geraniums, &c. for the winter, There are 

 also, in the recesses of the windows, between the pilasters, small 

 stands, seven inches in height, upon which are placed small 

 flowering plants in pots. 



Under these stands are the ventilators, which admit the 

 current of heated air and steam, together or separately at 

 pleasure into the house. 



We give water freely in the summer, generally with the 

 rose, and frequently with the engine over head, at the same 

 time opening the house, that the superabundant moisture 

 may soon dry up. This, in the summer is done in the even- 

 ing ; and in the spring and autumn in the morning. During 

 winter, the plants are watered individually, as their nature or 

 state of growth may require ; and at this season steam is sub- 

 stituted in place of the engine. 



The water which falls upon the roof is conducted through 

 the iron columns which support it into a large tank under the 

 portico, and brought up again by a forcing-pump, for the 

 supply of the house. 



It is not intended entirely to expose the house, by taking off' 

 the lights, windows, Sec. in the summer ; as air can be freely 

 and abundantly admitted, both by the windows and roof, inde- 

 pendently of Mr. Sylvester's flues (Jig. 13. o); so much so, 

 that notwithstanding the great body of glass, during the hottest 

 day of last summer, the thermometer in the Conservatory, and 

 one out of doors in the shade, stood exactly at the same 

 point, viz. 96°.
