The spaces

The spaces for these plants need not be more than chambers, formed of about two feet by three, and eighteen inches deep, filled with good peat and loam, in which most plants of this description will grow freely. A space of a semicircular form should be left in the pavement to receive the plant, and also to supply water to it; this space need not be larger than about nine inches in length, by six in its greatest breadth: and the opening should have a neat ornamental iron guard placed round it, about four inches in height, to prevent the stem of the plant from being injured or broken.Presuming that the floor is paved, elegant stages or flowerstands should be tastefully arranged, and rendered portable by being mounted upon castors; but their arrangement and position may be altered, at the pleasure of Tory Burch Sale the proprietor, so as to bring the plants into the light and shade, as Tory Burch Handbags their habits and other circumstances may require. On these stages or stands the smaller plants are to be placed.Large and fine specimens should be placed in vases, which of themselves Tory Burch Flats are ornaments for such a situation, if tastefully chosen, and of which the accompanying specimens may serve for examples. These vases are manufactured by Mr. Austin, of the New Road, London, at his artificial stone manufactory, and are both cheap and durable. Plants which are growing in large tubs, or boxes, and which would show to disadvantage ifstanding upon the floor, may be set in cavities formed for them under it, such cavities being covered when not in use with the pavement, or what would be still better, with a neat metallic grating. This mode of concealing the tubs in which plants grow has been employed upon a large scale, and with the happiest effect, in some of the new houses lately erected in the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, and Tory Burch Outlet upon a more limited scale, but with an equally good effect, in several greenhouses erected by Mr. Croskill, hothouse builder, of Beverley, in Yorkshire.
