Oti cuUivating the Pine-apple. 



Holes were also made with a thick strong rod, to suffer the heat to 

 escape. 



27. The pit was well watered with lime water, for two purposes ; to kill the 



worms, and cool the bed. 

 29. The worms all killed, and a fine moisture arising from the bark with 

 watering.

19. The heat of the large pit continuing pretty strong, it was not thought 

 needful to renew it until the shifting time in March. Part of the old 

 bark removed from the outsides, and as much fresh bark as possible 

 put in to fill up the pit.

Register of Heat in the Pine Stoves. 



The following is the register of the heat in the pine stoves : 

 it is kept by my assistant, and is taken down into a book for 

 that purpose. The heat will generally be found highest at 

 noon, and lowest in the morning, it having gradually fallen 

 during the night. The heat of the fruiting house is taken 

 from one in which pines are in fruit all the year, the plants 

 having always shown before they wei'e brought into it : they 

 could then be managed, as to watering, syringing, &c., as 

 before described. By referring to the column of the external 

 weather, it may be seen that the heat is the highest on clear 

 bright sunny days ; which I take to be perfectly natural, as I 

 think it not needful, in growing pines, to keep up the heat 

 every day alike; the same on bright sunny days as on cloudy, 

 rainy, or frosty ones.
