The woody plants, &c. will need water oftener, and 

 more at a time,- than the fucculent kinds; for fome of 

 thefe require very little moillure about their roots, and too 

 much wouJd rot the plants. ' 



Let the wocdy kinds, &c. in general be moderately water»- 

 ed, not lefs than twice a week, and it will be ferviceable to 

 iprinkle water foraetimes all over the head or branches of 

 thefe plants, efpecially the coifee-trees, the pimento, or 

 all-fpice, and all the tender acacias and mimofa, 8cq. 



But the fucculent kinds, fuch as the torch-thiftles, me- 

 lon -thirties, cereuffes, ficoides, aloes, euphorbiums, and 

 tiiQ like, mull: not be watered oftener than once a week, 

 or thereabouts. 



J-n watering thefe kinds, let care be taken to give but 

 little at each time, jail as much. as will reach the bottom 

 roots. 



Ir will be an advantage to all thefe tender plants, both 

 of the woody, fucculent, and other kinds, to Ilir the earth., 

 a little on the fui-face of the pots now and then; 



Jd;;iit Air, 



Freili air Hiould now be admitted to the pines, and all" 

 "other plants in the hot-houfei at all times when the wea- 

 ther will permit. 



But this, however, m nil never be done but when the 

 fun fhines vv'arm, and the air is quite calm and clear.: 

 then it will be proper to Hide fome of the glalfes open a. 

 little way, in the warmeft time of the day. 



The beil time of. the day to do this, is from about ten 

 or twelve to one two or three o'clock; but for the time 

 of opening and fhutting the glalfes, let the weather be the 

 guide..
