 behind the small ones, thus the size of their pots and the 

 length of their stems are concealed from the view, whilst their

 taken into the house at first, the late flowering sorts are 

 placed in a covered pit, or frame, and are brought iu as the 

 earlier ones decline, thus a succession of varieties is kept up 

 in equal perfection ; and this makes it necessary, in order to 

 have the house full to the end of the season, to keep in pots 

 more than double the quantity of plants, including all the 

 varieties, which the house will hold at one time.
