ii4 OF THE ANANAS, 



there may be three rows of crowns all 5 

 along the forefide. 



IT will be the befl method to carry 

 them all on as the crowns can be got, 

 for after they begin to grow it will be of 

 great fervice to them to be fprinkled 

 over with water twice a-week, as it will 

 keep the tan nioifr. ; but this cannot be 

 done where there any plants lately planted, 

 for if they get any water before they 

 begin to grow it rots them. If there 

 are any crowns that are taken off in win- 

 ter, they may be planted into the bark 

 in any place amongft the plants where 

 there is room and air, and not very hot, 

 where they may remain until there are 

 ibme young plants to mift, when they 

 may be taken up and potted. The crowns 

 that are taken off lad: in the general crop 

 muft not be planted in the front of the 

 truiting-pit, but be difpofed of in the fame 

 manner as thofe taken off in winter; for 

 the houfe muft be all removed as foon as 

 the fruit is cut, fo that they would not 

 have time to get root.
