them ; it would be better to throw them 

 away than to be too long in clearing the 

 ftove. 



I F the hotife is cleared t the latter end 

 of July or Auguft, the fried of the ftove 

 (as all ftoves have or ought to have onb)' 

 will anfwer very well. They rnufl be 

 left in 'the pots, not crouded, and have 

 air every day, but no water ; for if any 

 water be given them, they having no 

 bottom heat, it would kill all the roots, 

 which would be of great difadvantage, as 

 then there would be no frefh roots to leave 

 on the fruiting-pknts ; it would alfo turn 

 the plants very yellow, and rot the hearts 

 of the young plants,;' which are much ten- 

 derer than the large ones. 



I AM convinced that floves which have 

 Been only a few years built, and not much 

 infected, may be cleared by darning fome 

 of the powder amongft the leaves, and 

 lying a little all over the tops of the pots.
