10 OF THE PINE APPLE. 



nerally infested with the bug, and very uncertain 

 in their time of fruiting, as well as to its flavor. 

 If these were to be enumerated, the list of pines 

 known in this country would amount to upwards 

 of forty sorts. Specimens of above thirty sorts are 

 grown in the gardens of Mr. Gunter, at EaiTs- 

 court. 



The Pine Apple, as every gardener knows, is 

 propagated in the same manner by all those who 

 grow it ; that is, by that singular production in 

 which the fruit terminates, called a crown, and by 

 suckers ; these are planted in small pots, or in 

 beds of rotten tan, earth, or dung, at first, and 

 shifted in regular gradation into pots of different 

 sizes, at the discretion of the cultivator.
