lame Earth, as to fill the Pot 

 almoft to the Rim, and obferve 

 to fhake the Plant, fo as to let 

 the Earth in between the Roots, 

 and then with your Hand fettle 

 it clofe to the Moots of the Plant, 

 to keep it fteady in the Pot ; then 

 water them gently, and let them 

 abroad in a fhady Place, where 

 they may remain for three Weeks, 

 givng them gentle Waterings, if 

 the Weather proves hot and dry. 



Toward the latter End of 

 Augufl, in a dry Day, remove 

 them into the Houfe again, ob- 

 ferving to give them as much 

 free open Air as poflible, while 

 the Weather holds warmj but, 

 if the Nights are cool, you muft 

 flmt up the GlalTes, and give 

 them Air only in the Day; and 

 as the Cold increafes, you muft 

 decrcafe opening the Glalles, but 

 obferve to give them gentle Wa- 

 terings often, till the Middle ot 

 Ociober, when you muft abate 

 them, according to the Heat of" 

 the Houfe in which they are 

 kept. 



The firft Sort may be fet abroad 

 in the Beginning of May, and xc- 

 main there till O<;?oi?^r j and, in dry 

 Weather, muft have frequent, but 

 gentle Waterings, and fliould be 

 fliiftcd every Year, taking off all 

 the Suckers and rotten Roots, 

 W'hich, if fufter'd to remain on, 

 will greatly retard the Growth of 

 the Plant. 



The thirty-tbird Sort is very 

 hardy, and Ihould be planted 

 abroad under a good South-wall, 

 where it will thrive and increafe 

 much fafter than if kept in Pots, 

 and will produce much ftronger 

 Flowers. 



HoTP mcreas'd.~\ Thefe Aloes are 

 all increas'd by Ofi--(ets, which 

 ihould be taken from the Mother 



A L 



Plant, at the Time when they are 

 fhifted, and muft be planted in 

 very Imail Pots, filled with the 

 fame Earth, as was diredled for 

 the old Plants ; but if in taking 

 the Suckers off, you obferve that 

 Part which join'd to the Mother 

 Root to be moift, you muft let 

 them lie out cf the Ground in a 

 fliady dry Place two or three 

 Days to dry before they are plant- 

 ed, otherwife they are very fub- 

 je6l to rot. 



After planting, let them remain 

 in a fliady Place (as was be- 

 fore direded in fhifting the old 

 Plantsj for a Fortnight, when you 

 ftiould remove them to a very 

 moderate Hot-bed, plunging the 

 Pots therein, which w'U greatly 

 facilitate their taking new Roots ; 

 but obferve to fiiade the Glailes in 

 the Middle of the Day, and to give 

 them a great deal of Air. 



Toward the End oi Augujl, be- 

 gin to harden thefe young Plants, 

 by taking oft' the Glafles in good 

 Weather, and by raifing them at 

 other times with Bricks, that the 

 Air may freely enter the Bed, 

 which is abfolutely neceflary for 

 their Growth, end to prepare 

 them to be rcmov'd into the 

 Houfe, which Jiiuft be done to- 

 wards I he End of September, and 

 manag'd as before diredted for the 

 old Plants. 



Moft of the African Sorts of 

 Aloes do produce Flowers with 

 us annually, when grown to a 

 fufficient Size, which is often the 

 fecond, and feldom more than 

 the third or fourth Year, after 

 planting from Oft-ie*-s j but the 

 American Aloes (which do, for 

 the moft Parr, produce their 

 Flower-ftems immediately from 

 the Center of the Plant) leldom 

 flower till they are of a confi-
