cd fiiigly into fmall pots, or may remain till next Tpring, 

 if very fmall, and not growing very thick together. 



They muft be planted fingly, into half-penny or three- 

 farthing pots, at the fame time giving them fome wa- 

 ter; the faid pots are to be plunged into a new hot-bed, 

 obferving to give air by r^ifing the glaffes, and Ihade 

 them in the middle of funny days ; the glaffes are to be 

 kept over them conftantly, till about the firft or fccond> 

 week, in Aug'ift;-bat obferving as the plants rife in 

 height to raife the frame, that they may have full li- 

 berty to fhoot ; but in Auguft, as above faid, they are 

 to be expofed by degrees to the open air : this muft be: 

 done by raifing the glaffes to a good height, and after- 

 wards taking them quite away. 



With this management, you may raife them to the. 

 height of eighteen or twenty inches by the middle of 

 Auguil; they inufl.be removed into the green-houfe 

 about a week or ten days before Michaelmas, placing 

 them near the windows, and there to remain all winter. 



Then in the fpring (that is,, about Marfch or April) 

 it.will be of much advantage to plunge the pots again in 

 a gentle hot-bed, managed as above ; it would bring 

 them forward greatly, but obferving to begin in May 

 to harden them to the air, and to let them enjoy the full 

 air the beginning of June. 



The young plants thus managed will, in the fecond 

 or third fummer, be fit to be inoculated: which muft 

 be in the third or fourth week in July, or firil week in 

 Auguft : at the time of budding it wih be proper to take 

 them into a green«-houfe, or where they can be defended ^ 

 from wet, and enjoy the light and plenty of air. When 

 in the green-houfe, &c. it will be proper to turn that' 

 iide of the plant where the bud is inferted, from the 

 fun ; and, if the fun fhines freely upon the plants, ir 

 will be proper to fcreen them with mats during the 

 greateft heat. 



But, in order to make the buds take more freely, you 

 may plunge the pots into a moderate hot-bed of tanner-s 

 bark a fortnight or three weeks, made in a glafs cafe, or 

 green-houfe, or any deep bark-pit which can be occa- 

 fionally defended with glaffes ; giving plenty of a free air. 



The plants muft be kept in the green-houfe all win- 

 ter ; but in the fpring, about the month of March or 

 April, a moderate hot-b,^d, in a elafs-cafe, muft be 



' made
