The practice adopted by Mr. Williams, of growing in pots pines which will endure the open air (we make an exception in favour of those that will not, such as P. longifolia, P. leiophylla, &c), and keeping them in a green-house both in summer and winter, cannot be recommended; because, though the plants, when taken so much care of as at Hendon Rectory, will look remarkably well for five or six years, yet, for want of room, they must ultimately become stunted and die; or, if they are turned out into the free soil, after being six or seven years in pots, even with all the care that can be bestowed in unwinding their roots from the balls, and spreading them out, their chance of living is very doubtful. The only plants, in our opinion, that can be legitimately grown in green-houses and hot-houses, are such as can be brought to as great a degree of perfection there, as they would attain in the open air in their native countries. Of these there are thousands of species which can be brought to greater perfection under glass in Britain, than they are ever seen to attain in their native countries, in the open air. This will apply to almost all the shrubs, and all the herbaceous plants, of warm climates.
The trees of warm climates have, in general, a miserable appearance under glass, for want of room.
