well about their roots and Hems; then give them a \&ry 

 moderate watering, juft to fettle the erinh to the roots. 



When the whole is planted, bring your hand cr bell- 

 glafies, and fet them rer.dy ; obfervdng to place one glafi 

 over every patch of plants, as above. 



The glaiTes are to be kept conllantly and clofe down 

 over the plants, till they have taken good root, which 

 ■will be well cfFedUd in about a week's time; then raife 

 them on props, fuch as brick-bats, or pieces of wood or 

 Hone, about three inches thick; and with thefe to raife 

 the glafTes, and placing them on the fouthfide, one prop 

 under each giafs. In this manner the glafTes are to re- 

 main night and day, except in frofty weather, when 

 they muil be letdown quite clofe; but if the months of 

 November and December prove mild and dry, and the 

 plants are much on the grovi'ing order, it will be proper 

 to fet the glaffes oit in fine dry days ; and keep thtm al- 

 v.'ays over the plants on nights and rainy v/eather ; but 

 they muft be raifed iwo or three inches on the warmeil 

 fide with props^ above hinted, to adrnirt air to the 

 plants. 



But if you are not provided fufHciendy with hand or 

 beil-giaiies, or f/atucd, yuu m^y plavu iome cuuliRo^er 

 plants out for good on a warm border, where they will 

 fometiroes furvive the vyinter, ^nd produce good heads. 



But where this is obliged to be prao'tifedv it will be 

 proper to put in a parcel of the plants,, clofe under the 

 wall, ietting them about four inches apart, and thefe. 

 will have a chance to live, if thofe at a greater diftance 

 from the wall Ihquld be dellroyed, and in the fpring. 

 fome may be thinned out and tranfplanted into an opea 

 ipot of ground. 



The cauliflower plants which are to be kept all winter 

 in frames, fhould alfo, towards the end of this month, if 

 not done in September, be tranfplanted into their pro- 

 per winter beds of light rich earth, the dimenfions of 

 one or more garden-frames, as explained in Auguil; 

 and the frames at the fame time be placed over them. 



But obferve, if the plants are now but iVnall, or back- 

 ward in their growth, it will be an advantage to make 

 a ilight hot-bed, in a trench ; making it ffteen inches 

 thick of dung, covering it feven inches deep of earth,. 

 and put in the plants. See Auguft.,
