With respect to culture, we were gratified by the healthy vigorous appearance of the camellias and orange trees in the conservatory, with their stems coming up through the Portland stone pavement; with the manner in which the heaths and New Holland plants were grown in rough, turfy, unsifted soil mixed with broken stones and pebbles, in Mr. Barnes's manner, hereafter described, with a somewhat similar manner of growing the Orchideï¾µ; and in particular with the very neat and effective manner in which the heaths and New Holland plants, and indeed all house plants of a shrubby kind, were tied by slender threads or copper wires into handsome shapes, conical, globular, domical, umbrella-like, or in some other modification or segment of a sphere or hemisphere.
