For that purpofe, provide a quantity of frefh compofl.f 

 let this be iifted, orotherwife broken very fmall between 

 the hands, and then be laid ready. 



When this is done, take up the pots one by one, and 

 pick oft* all decayed leaves of the plants ; then turn the 

 plants out of the pots, trim awav fonie of the earth from 

 its roots, and let the extreme fibres be trimmed : this 

 done, fill the pot nearly with new compoll, immedi- 

 ately fet the plant in the middle, clofe the earth well 

 about it, and fill up the pot properly with more com- 

 poft. 



When the whole are thus planted, let them be mo- 

 derately v/atered, and fet the pots in a fiiady place, or 

 fiinde them occafionally with mats, and water them in 

 dry weather till the plants have taken root.

 pofe ; if the latter, fill fome pots or boxes with light 

 earth about the middle or latter end of the month. Let
