OF THE ANANAS, 



more freely, to warn out the mixture 

 from the heart of the plant, which muft 

 be in about twenty days after being 

 plunged : from this time there mould be 

 no more water poured into the heart, but 

 in amongft the bottom leaves. This mix- 

 ture will no ways hurt the leaves, nor re- 

 tard the growth of the plants, 



As foon as the roots will keep the ball 

 together, they mufl be fhifted into larger 

 pots to bring them to a regular courle ; 

 but there will be no occation to ufe any 

 more of the mixture neither in the mould 

 nor to the plant, for the vermin will be 

 effectually deftroyed, and never give any 

 further trouble, 



WHEN the plants are to be plunged, 

 the bark mould be flirred no deeper than 

 juft to receive the pots ; for as it has been 

 fo lately ilirred and mixed from the bot- 

 tom, if it was now flirred any depth the 

 heat would be greater than the plants 

 could bear.
