OR PINE- APPLE. i; 5 



THE large ones that are for fruit next 

 year mould have all the mould maken 

 clean off, and all the fmall roots cut clofe 

 to the ftem, and only a few of the fineft 

 white fhort roots left on, that they may 

 (land an inch or two within the fides of 

 the pot. 



EXAMINE and rub the ftem as before, 

 and dufl all the roots that are left ; but 

 they muft not be rubbed, for it would 

 break all the young fibres and caufe the 

 roots to rot ; yet it is neceflary they 

 mould be dufted, as there is a probability 

 of their being infe&ed with the fpawn ; 

 then da(h with the hand, between every 

 leaf, as much of the powder as- a fmall 

 nut-mell would hold, and keep the plant 

 upright after the powder is put into it. 



THE mould directed for plants whofc 

 roots were fo much burnt as to require 

 fhifting, is very proper for both old and 

 young plants at this potting.
