1 foot 9^ inches from front to back : it should be furnished 
with slides for ten drawers : the doors should be 3 feet 2 inches 
high, the panels of which must be of wire-work, as well as the back 
of the case, for the purpose of allowing a free circulation of air, 
which is absolutely necessary for the health of the roots. I some 
time since tried perforated zinc, instead of wire-work, which has 
a very neat appearance, and answers the purpose equally well. 
Each of the drawers must be 2 feet 7 inches long, 1 foot 
8 inches wide, and 2j inches deep. The length is to be divided

into 10 cells, and the width into 7 ; each cell being 2f inches, by 
2^ and 2 inches deep. This will make room for 70 roots in each 
drawer. The reason for having seven cells across the drawer is 
that it may correspond with the tulip bed, which should contain 
seven roots across it. A case this size will, of course, contain 100 
rows. 
In arranging my tulip-bed, I begin with a byblcemen, then a 
bizard, and next a rose, (marked in figure 2,) beginning with the 
first row of the top drawer, thus :—
