The different modes of cultivating the pine-apple From its first introduction into Europe to the late improvements of T.A. Knight, esq.

Part 12

Chapter 12307 wordsPublic domain

_Remarks._--All the schemes of improvement detailed in this section, are either of a nature never to become general, if they do succeed, as that of Count Zuboff; or not yet sufficiently proved by experience to be recommended for adoption, as the application of steam as a bottom heat by Mr. Hay. We therefore leave them to work their way with the public; and, in the mean time, till these, as well as Mr. Knight’s experiments have established something better, we recommend all those who wish to grow the Pine Apple in the first style of excellence, and at a moderate expence, to adopt the pits and houses of Mr. Baldwin or Mr. Aiton; and to imitate their practice, or that of Mr. Andrews.

THE END.
