Mew Mode of Glazing, 
under our observation, we can tlierefore speak of the surprising’ crops he produces 
iu this way, equally as well swelled, and much better flavoured, than when 
trained up the rafters;—indeed the best swelled and best coloured bunches of 
the Grizley Frontignac^ we ever saw, were g’rowii iu a pot, by Mr. Staftbrd. Al¬ 
though he recommends the smaller and more delicate sorts, he sometimes cultivates 
the larger, and these are equally well grown and beautiful;—we saw on one of his 
plants in pots, two years ago, 37 bunches, all well swelled and ripe! and he has 
at this present time, some of his plants nearly as prolific. 
The means he uses to prevent his plants ever becoming old and useless,, is well 
deserving notice;—he puts the plant deeper in the pot, every succeeding year, 
tlius allowing the wood that was above the pot the preceding year, the oppor¬ 
tunity of making new roots, which it does in abundance;—at his next time of 
potting*, he takes from the bottom about the same proportion of old roots, by which 
practice, the vine fills its pot with new roots every year ; he attends to them well 
with water during the whole time of forcing; (of course when the fruit begins to 
ripen they are allowed much less) they apj>ear to answer well either on Spur or 
Single-rods, and when any one becomes weakly from over-bearing, it is cut down 
nearly close to the pot, and allowed a year’s rest. 
Great praise is due to Mr. Arkwright, for the liberal means he has afforded; 
he has done much towards the advancement of Horticulture, and we have long- 
considered him a kind friend to Gardeners.

Article II .—Remarks on Harrison and Cnrfis's Neiv 
Mode of Glazing, By Joseph Paxton, F.H.S., Gar¬ 
dener and Forester to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire; 
and one of the Conductors of this Magazine. 
A PATENT has been taken out by Mr. Harrison and Mr. Curtis, for a 
new mode of Glazing, and which in many respects is a great improve¬ 
ment. 
This new method consists “when complete” in having one plane sur¬ 
face, and no projecting part above the glass, except the collars and small 
heads of screws employed at the angles, to fasten down the squares. 
Having had some frames constructed for his Grace the Duke of De¬ 
vonshire, we are enabled to give an accurate description of the mode, as 
well as to state our decided approval of the system as far as we are at 
present able to judge. The chief reason of our early noticing it, is to 
call the attention of all practical men to the subject of Glazing in all its 
different ways, and also to request them to take into consideration, of 
what materials the roofs of Hothouses ought to be constructed. No sub¬ 
ject relative to Horticultural buildings is more deserving of the decided 
explanations of experienced men than this; for we daily see the “blind 
leading the blind” on this very important topic ; and while practical 
men are almost silent on this subject it is no wonder that persons
