Pans, saucers, and pots. These last (pots) are 

 distinguished by gardeners, and vary among the Lon- 

 don potters, from No. 1, the first size, called Twos 

 (two only being cast together), which is eighteen 

 inches in diameter, twelve inches deep, to No. 11, 

 which has eighty in the cast and is called Eighties (or 

 Thumbs) , one inch and a half in diameter and two 

 inches deep. Matting of tall reed straw, either of sin- 

 gle or double lengths (for by uniting the upper ends 

 in the centre nearly twice the height can be obtained), 

 tied together in sufficient thickness, within a foot of 

 the top and bottom, and at the centre, has the advan- 

 tage of being lighter than bast mat, and far more easily 

 made. AVith care it will last two or three years. 

 Oiled calico for occasional awning in summer will also 

 be a requisite.
