When it is intended to plant any of the common forts of

 feedfmen and glafs-lhops, being made concave at the moudi

 and one root placed in each glafs with its bottom touching 

 the water; placing the bottles in fome window where the

 ous rooted flower roots in pots for blowing in a houfe, fuch.

 earth, plant the roots therein juit over their crowns, and 

 place the pots near a window, and when the roots begin to 

 flioot, give occafional light watcrmgs, and they will flower 

 in good perfection at aiiy early fcafon.
