lower end four and a half inches diameter, with two handles 

 fixed to it, so that the operator easily holds it while a lad 

 is filling in the bark from a flower pot. 



After the fruit has done blooming, besides giving the 

 necessary watering at the root of the plants, I occasionally, 

 in fine warm weather, sprinkle the fruits and leaves Of the 

 plants all over with clean soft water, warmed to about 80 or 85 

 degrees ; this is the temperature I give to all the water I use 

 for my Pine plants. This top watering I give about four 

 o'clock in the afternoon, and at the same time shut the glass 

 sashes of the pit all close. 



I remain, Sir, 



Your obedient Servant, 

 James Dall.
