seem to be an absolute necessity for the particular 

 care recommended in cleaning every part of the 

 hot-house ; nor even for a more material article, viz. 

 the changing of the tan, which would be the prin- 

 cipal part of the expense. Every other expense 

 for a large hot-house will come within the compass 

 of a few shillings. 



Although the result of the above observations 

 seems to be founded on the greatest appearance of 

 probability, yet I do not affirm the least circum- 

 stance that is not grounded on experience. This 

 account of my practice is given with the most scru- 

 pulous exactness ; and, from a careful perusal of 

 it, I dare venture to assert, that I have not omitted 

 the minutest article. I therefore trust and believe, 

 that whoever shall pursue the same mode of 

 practice, will, in the end, find his labours crowned 

 with the same success which I have hitherto had 

 the good fortune uniformly to experience.
