^ratzfplanting Seedliitg Exotics. 



Now tranfplant into larger pots the exotic plants wiiich 

 were raifed this year from feed. 



But thefe plants need not now be planted into very large 

 pots; fuch as the auricula pots are the proper fize. Fill 

 the pots with light earth ; and into each pot fetone plant, 

 and give it a little water. 



Then it would be of much advantage, if the pnts are 

 immediately plunged into a- moderate hot-bed. Put on 

 the glaifes, and ihade them till the plants have taken 

 root. 



Let them have frelli air every day, by opening or tilting 

 up the glaifes ; and, about two or three times a week, lee 

 them be very moderately watered. 



But in default of a hot- bed, let the pots, in which 

 thefe forts are planted, be placed in a lliady warm fpot, 

 in the open air, or in a frame, &c. iliaded from the mid- 

 day fun, and frequently watered, they will take root in 

 good time, and make tolerable progrefs. 



The H o T - H o u s e.

The pine-apple plants, in particular theft' in fruit, will 

 now want very regu'lar attendance. 



Thefe plants mull now, for one thing, be duly fupplied 

 with water ; they will, in general, require a little every 

 four or five days; but makt it a rale never to give them 

 too much water at one time. 



All the other forts of plants in the hot-houfe or ftove, 

 will alfo require frequent refrelLments of water at this 

 time. 



Admit alfo to the pines, and all other plants in the hot- 

 houfe, a good ihareof frelh air. This mull be done 

 every warm day ; for, without a due portion of air, the 

 pines will not nourifh their fruit well Therefore, about
