Exotic Nursery, King's Road. — ■ Mr. Knight has recently completed an 

 orangery, and heated it by hot water, on a plan combining Comte Cha- 

 bannes's idea of having the fire in the centre of the boiler, and Mr. Weeks's 

 plan of circulating the water in a thin stratum. We have prepared an account 

 of it ; but the engravings not being done, it must be deferred till next Num- 

 ber. We never enter Mr. Knight's hot-houses without feeling surprised that 

 camellias thrive so well in the dark. They seem, in this respect, to resemble 

 the box and the holly ; and, if so, they would form excellent underwood for 

 ornamental plantations in the south of England ; probably even in the mid- 

 land districts. The splendid conservatory here, the iron sash-bar roof of 

 which was put up by Mr. Bramah, never looked better. Mi*. Knight's hot- 

 houses and working-sheds afford valuable lessons to the young gardener, in 

 arrangement, orderly management, and continual neatness • the last a mat- 

 ter of some difficulty with a nurseryman in full business. — Cond.
