3o6 The Green -Flo use. [June. 



either be placed in a moderate hot-bed, or in a frame with- 

 out heat ; and Ihaded in funny days, from nine in the morn- 

 ing till four or five in the evening : they will thus take root ; 

 in particular the ledums, Indian figs, and ficoidefes, and 

 fuch like plants of the hardier kinds. Defend them from 

 wet by putting on the glailes ; which fhould be conllantly 

 kept on, but raifed on props to give air. 



But the more tender fucculent cuttings muil have the 

 help of a hot-bed to promote their taking root ; particu- 

 larly the euphorbium, torch thiftle, and all the other 

 kinds of cerufes. 



A bark hot-bed is the beit, into which plunge the pots 

 to their rims. But v.hcre fuch a bed cannot be obtained, 

 make one of new horfe-dung. Lay on fome earth, or old 

 tan, and plunge the pots in it, put on the glaffej;, and 

 fhade them five or fix hours in the middle of the day with- 

 a mat. 



Give them air every day, by raifing or Hiding theglaiTes 

 a little open, and give them now and then a little water. 



Inarching, <^c. 



Inarching may iHll be performed upon orange-trees 

 where ^it is defired to propagate them that way. 



Lemons may alfo be inarched now ; likewife citrons, 

 pomegranates, and the curious kinds of jafmines may 

 ilill be propagated by that method of grafting. 



Layers of Green-hov/e Shrubs^ 



Now make layers of green-houfe fhrubs ; there are fe- 

 veral forts that may Hill be propagated by that method. 



The forts which will readily take this way are, myrtles, 

 and the choiceil kinds of jafmines, pomegranates, and 

 alfo granadilies and oleanders, and many other fuch like 

 forts. 



Let it be obferved, if you now lay the young fhoots of 

 the fame year, v/hich will be a proper length by the mid- 

 dle or end of the month, they will more readily fucceed, 

 though you may alfo ufe any young ihoots that are con- 

 veniently fituated. 



Let therefore any low-place.l Ihoots or fuch branches as 

 are well furnillied with young fhoots be bent down to the 

 earth in ths pot, and fecured there, then lay all the young 

 wood.
