pricked out from the feed bed : at that time let another 

 rich fpot be dug^ for them in a fhcltercd fituation ; and 

 jnark out a bed tiie r?mc breadth, as above; into this 

 bed the plants arc at that time to be pricked about two 

 or three inches apart, and fhaded from the fun, and oc- 

 cadonally wat>;rcd, till rooted. 



But one thing is proper to be ohferved, in the managc- 

 ment of thefc plants, and particularly thofe intended to 

 be planted out under hand-gl'affes ; and that is, if the 

 weather fliovdd at the above time of pricking cut from 

 the feed-bed prove cold, and at the fame time the plants 

 but backward in their growth, it will, in that cafe, bepro- 

 per to make afligbthot bed of warm dung to prick the 

 plants in, which v.'ill bring them greatly forward. 



This bed need itot be made above twelve or fifteen in- 

 ches, at mo{>, thick of dung ; lay the thicknefs of fix 

 inches of earth all over the furface, and put in the plants 

 as above. 



In either of the above beds, the plants are to remain 

 until the la.H: week in October, or the firft week in No- 

 vember, and then to be tranfplanted into the proper places, 

 to (land the winter. 



The iirft fown plants, in particular, or, if you have 

 but one fowing, the largell of thefe are at that time to be 

 planted out for good in rows, and covered with the bells, 

 obfcrving to place three -or four of the flrongeft plants 

 under each glafs ; the glafies to (land three feet diftance 

 from one another, and the rov/s four feet afunder. 



But if you defire to make the moft advantage of the 

 above giafles, you may plant four or five plants or more 

 under each; and in the fprirg thin cut the- worft, 

 leaving but one or at moft two of the ftrongefl plants 

 under each glafs ; and thofe that arc thinned out, are to 

 be planted in another fpot, in the open ground, as di- 

 re£led in February and iVlarch. 



The plants, intended to be wintered in frames, are alfo 

 in the end of October, or firft week in November, to be 

 tranfplanted into their winter quarters, in four feet wide 

 beds of rich light earth in a funny fituation, fetting the 

 plants three inches apart ; and one or more frames, ac- 

 cording tiothe length of the bed, placed thereon, to be 

 protected occafionally v/ith glalTes, as before fuggefted, 

 and as direfted below, and in the winter months ; or 

 obferve, that if the plants are backward in their growth, 

 it will be pr .per to make a flender hot-bed for them in 

 the following manner :
