These sorts of plants must constantly be kept 

 in pots, or some large sorts in tubs, tor moving 

 into shelter in winter, and into the open air in 

 summer ; as, being all exotics from various warm 

 parts of the world, ihey arc of tender growth 

 Ml this climate, and consequently not able to 

 li\e. in the open air in the winter. 



The pots and tubs for containing ihem must 

 be of diflerent sizes, according to the size and 

 nature of the plants, which, as thev advance in 

 growth, should have larger pots, &c. accordingly ; 

 and when they become too large for the pots, 

 they must be shifted into tubs hooped with iron, 

 with two iron handles to each at top. 



And in potting or planting the different sorts, 

 care should be taken that the pots or tubs have 

 holes at bottom for the discharge of redundant 

 moisture ; each hole being covered with a piece 

 of tile or oyster-shell before the mould is put in» 

 to prevent their being stopped up, and the earth 

 from being washed out. 



1 he modes of propagating the different sorts, 

 the nature of the earth in which they succeed 

 best, and the season of raising them, are fully 

 explained under the cultureof the respectivekinds. 



General Management of Green-House Plants. 

 As most plants of this sort are capable of bearing 

 the open air from the latter end of May till Octo- 

 ber ; but the rest of the year demand the protec- 

 tion of the green-house, they of course require to 

 be set out as soon as the weather bct(ins to be 

 suitable, in the spring and summer monUis ; espe- 

 cially for such as all the varieties of Myrtles, Ge- 

 raniums, Oleanders, Cistuses,Phlomises, Shrubby 

 Aster, Tree-Wormwood, Trec-Candy-tuft, Yel- 

 low Indian and Spanish Jasmines, Indian Bav, 

 &c. And this should be done in the last week in 

 May or first in June, according as the season 

 proves more or less favourable tor all the other 

 sorts : but it should not be attempted until the 

 season is become perfectly settled, and there is a 

 fair prospect of summer being arrived, as there are 

 often very cold nights, and frequently frosty morn- 

 ings, in May, and even in the beginning of June, 

 which, if the plants were fully exposed, would 

 pinch the ends of their voung shoots and leaves, 

 and greatly injure them. A nnld warm day should 

 be chosen for this work ; and if a warm rain, it 

 will be of much advantage, as it washes the leaves 

 and branches from the dust they have contracted, 

 and greatly refreshes the plants. 



Setting out the Plants. — This is done in the 

 more hardy sorts m their pots, about the mid- 

 dle of May. 



When first brought out, it is proper to place 

 them in some sheltered sumiv place, for a tort- 

 night, till they are inured to the open air; then 

 to set ihcm in any open exposure, where they
