The Green -House. 



Orange and Lemon Trees, 



IN the lall week in this month it will be time, if the 

 nights prove cold, to remove the orange trees, and 

 many other green-houfe plants, into their winter quar- 

 ters ; but if fine weather, they may remain a week or 

 fortnight longer. 



Let, however, the oranges and lemons in particular, 

 and fuch like kinds, be taken into the green-houfe at the 

 firft approach of cold nights ; for one Iharp night would 

 make their leaves change their fine green colour, and 

 they would Hardly be able to recover it again all winter. 



Therefore, at the time mentioned, take the opportu- 

 nity of a perfe<Sl dry day, and carry into the green-houfe, 

 the more tender kinds, and place them clear of each 

 other ; but they need not be placed in regular order till 

 the myrtles and other hardier plants are brought in next 

 month. 



When the- oranges and other tenderer plants are in the 

 green-houfe, let the windows be opened every mild day 

 to their full extent. 



The windows may alfo be continued- open day and 

 night for the £rlt fortnight after^the plants are carried in, 

 except there ihould happen froft, or very windy or cold 

 wet weather : in that cafe keep the houfe ihut clofe every 

 night. 



At the time when the plants are removed into the 

 green-houfe, let them be well cleared from dead leaves, 

 if there be any ; and if any dead wood appears let that 

 alfo be taken out. 



In the mean- time take proper care of all the plants till 

 the time to remove them into fhelter. 

 . Let them in dry weather be properly fupplied with wa- 

 ter ; but towards the end of the month let them be wa- 

 tered more moderately than at the beginning.
