Some of the tender kinds will require to 

 be let ftand longer in the houfe in the 

 Spring, and taken fooner into it in Au- 

 tumn, than the others. 



The beft time for general fhifting or 

 potting, is, when they are removed out of 

 tfr into the houfe ; but individuals may be 

 frefh potted at any time. The luxurious 

 growing kinds fhould be rather under-pot- 

 ted, and kept in ftiffifh foil ; which will 

 tend to check their growth. 



Thefe plants look much better, when of 

 an ordinary iize, than when fuffered to 

 grow tall, and with naked items. There- 

 fore, they fhould be frequently headed 

 down and trimmed } fo as to make them 

 put forth young moots in every part, if 

 poffible. They fhould alfo be diverted of 

 all dead branches and leaves as they ap- 

 pear, at all times. Young plants of all 

 the kinds that will, fhould be Jlruck every 



feafon ;
