exolic plants till the beginning of the autumn, when they must re- 

 ceive the shelter of the green-house. 



The principal attention which is afterwards necessary with plants 

 of this description is, that of properly potting them as they increase 

 in size, and carefully exposing them in the open air during the 

 summer months. 



These sorts are likewise capable of being raised by setting the 

 cuttings of the shoots in the latter end of the summer in shady situa- 

 tions, and after they have stricken good roots carefully removing 

 them into pots, to be managed as the seedling plants. 



The thirteenth and following kinds require to be kept constantly 

 in the stove of the hot-house. They may be increased by sowing 

 the seeds in the spring either on a hot-bed, or in pots, and plunging 

 them into the hot-bed; the plants, when sufficiently grown, being in 

 the first mode transplanted into separate pots of good earth, to be, as 

 in the latter method, plunged into the tan-bed in the stove of the 

 hot-house. Plants of the thirteenth species should be annually 

 raised, as they decline in the production of flowers after the first 

 year. 



The first kinds may be employed in the fronts of the clumps and 

 borders of pleasure, or other grounds, where they have a good effect 

 in mixture with other plants of similar growth. 



The second sorts afford an agreeable diversity in the green-house 

 during the winter, and in the compartments about the house in the 

 summer season. 



Those of the last description present a pleasing variety among 

 other stove plants.
