OR PINE- APPLE. 179 



THE large plants that are planted in 

 their fruiting-pots mould have the fame 

 mould as thofe that were before cleaned 

 and fhifted at the proper feafon ; but the 

 young plants mould have that which was 

 direcled for plants at the fecond mifting ; 

 and if the.y meet with no misfortune, 

 their balls need not be reduced in fpring, 

 but only removed into larger pots. 



IF they are managed as directed, the 

 pots of the fruiting-plants will be full of 

 roots in a little time after they are fhifted, 

 and produce good fruit, but will be later 

 by a month or fix weeks. 



WHERE there is only one hot-houfe, 

 the greateft difficulty is the keeping the 

 plants while the {love is cleaning and 

 getting ready, for which reafon it fhould 

 be done as foon as poffible ; for if the 

 weather is very cold and frofty it will be 

 very difficult. If there are but few fruit, 

 then it is not worth making a bed for 



M 2 them ;
