ing them into a moderate Hot -bed, 

 which will greatly promote their 

 Rooting, and increale their Growth; 

 but you fiiould not draw them too 

 much, but give them a large Share 

 of Air when the Weather is good, 

 and in June you fhould remove 

 them out into the open Air as be- 

 fore; and during the three or tour 

 Winters, while the Plants are young, 

 you muft houfe them, to fecure 

 them from tlie Cold ; but when 

 the Plants are grown pretty large 

 and woody, they will endure to 

 be planted in the open Air: The 

 beft Sealbn for this is in Airily at 

 which time you fhould fhakc them 

 out of the Pots, being careful not 

 to break the Eirth trom the Roots, 

 but only pare off with a Knife the 

 Outlidc of the Bail of Earth ; then 

 open your Holes, and put in the 

 Plant, doling the Earth to its 

 Roots, oblerving, if the Weather 

 is dry, to give it fome Water, 

 which fhould be repeated twice a 

 Week until the Plants have taken 

 Root : But you mull: obferve to 

 plant them on a dry Soil, and in a 

 warm Situation, otherwile they 

 will be liable to mifcarry in fevere 

 frofty Weather. 



1 have been inform'd, that there 

 w^as formerly a large Tree of this 

 Kind, in the Gardens of the Bifhop 

 of London, at Tulham, which pro- 

 duced Flowers fcveral Years ; but 

 this, with many other valQable 

 Trees, which were grown to a 

 confiderable Height in the fame 

 Gardens, have been long iince de- 

 molilh'd. 



At prefent I don't know of any 

 of thefe Trees in Etigla-nd, which 

 are arrived to any confiderable Sra- 

 ture; but I have tranfplanted one 

 Tree, which is fevcn Years old, 

 into the open Ground in the Phy- 

 lick-Garden, which I find refills

the Cold extremely well without 

 any Shelter. 



In the Year lygi* I had fever al 

 of thole Plants flowered in the 

 Phy lick-Gar den, which were but 

 four Years old from Seed ; but that 

 Plant which grew in the open 

 Ground did not flower altho' it 

 was three times the Size of the 

 others. At Faris there are fome 

 large Plants of this Kind, which 

 do produce Flowers and Fruit al- 

 moil every Year. 



There is another Kind of this 

 Tree, which is preferved in fome 

 curious Gardens in Holland i which 

 is called j Anedarach fempervirens 

 0> for ens, i. e. The Bead Tree 

 which is always green and flower- 

 ing. But this I have not feen in 

 England. 



The outfide Pulp ot this Fruit is 

 in fome Countries eat, but I don't 

 find it is miuch commended ; but 

 the Nut is by the Monks (and 

 other Religious Perfons in Roman 

 Catholic k Countries) bored thro* 

 with an Awl, and ftrung as Beads, 

 with which they fay their Vater- 

 Nojhr, which has occafion'd its h^-
