 • j'ceds ; and if the nights fliould prove cold, tlie glaifes 

 of the hot-bed fliould be covered with mats, to keep 

 the bed in a moderate warmth. In about fix weeks 

 " after, the plants will begin to appear, when they 

 muft be carefully cleared from weeds, and frequently 

 rcfrclhcd with water y and, in warm weather, the 

 olciflcs of the hot-bed (hould be raifed in the middle 

 of the day, to admit frefli air to the plants, which 

 will greatly ftrengthen them, otherwife they are apt 

 to draw up weak. When the plants are about three 



inches high, they fliould be carefully taken out of the 

 pots, and each tranfplanted into a feparate fmall pot 

 filled with frefli light earth, and plunged into the liot- 

 bed again, obferving to water them, and fcreen them 

 from the heat of the fun until they have taken new 

 root ; after which time, the glaffes of the hot-bed 

 ■ fliould be raifed. every day, in proportion to the heat 

 of the v/eather, to admit frefn air to the plants. In 

 this hot-bed the plants may remain till autumn, when 

 they fliould be removed into the ftove, and plunged 

 into the bark-bed, where they may have room to 

 srow. Thefe plants being tender, fliould always be 

 kept in the bark-fl:ove, and have a moderate fliare of 

 heat in the winter, and being placed among other 

 tender exotic plants of the fame country, will afford 

 an agreeable variety.

 fliould be treated in the fam? manner as othe^ tender

 removed either into the flove or glafs-cale, where 

 they may reniam to ripen feeds, after which they foon 

 die. The plants of the fecond fort will live many 

 years if they are preferved in the bark-fl:ove, but 

 they are too tender to thrive in tne open air in this
