*74 OF THE ANANAS, 



if a frame or two will hold all the crop 

 that is left, it would be worth while to 

 clear the houfe by the middle of July (as 

 there is no new erection nor expence, 

 only a little labour) then the next year's 

 plants would be very little retarded. 



THE bark the plants are plunged in 

 will be very ufeful. As foon as all the 

 fruit is cut let it be fifted, lay the round 

 under cover, mix it with half as much 

 new, and turn it once or twice, and it 

 will be much better than all new to re- 

 frefh the bed the next time the plants 

 are potted, and to fill up ; for by being 

 turned from the bottom it will be funk a 

 good deal below the level of the pit.

 as directed for the young plants in March, 

 and the heat comes up, the plants mufl be 

 all taken out of the pots. The young

 fpring.
