The pots are placed on the surface of the pit, in a division 

 of a large stove, together with other Scitamineas, but without 

 any other admixture; they are not crowded together; the 

 tallest occupy the back part of the stove, and some of them 

 rise to the height of from nine to twelve feet ; the shorter 

 ones are, of course, placed in front. Their magnificent spikes 

 of flowers, together with the fragrance of some of the kinds, 

 produce a very grand effect. 



I am, Sir, 

 Your very obedient humble Servant, 

 Joseph Cooper!
