lours, to take off fome Cuttings of 

 each Kind towards the latter End 

 of Augujl or the Beginning of Sep- 

 tember, and plant them prerry ciole, 

 in Pots fiil'd with common frefh 

 Earth, fetting theni in a fl^ady 

 Place, and oblerving to water them 

 frequently : Thefe Cuttings will, 

 in a Month's time, ftnke out 

 Roots, and begin to growj you 

 muft therefore remove the Pots 

 into an open Situation, obferving, 

 as before, to refreih them with 

 Water, (which muft" now be done 

 gently, that the young Plants may 

 not grow too vigorous before Win- 

 ter) : In this Place they may re- 

 main until the latter End of Ocio- 

 ber^ when you fliouid place the 

 Pots into a common Hot - bed 

 Frame, that they may be fcrcen'd 

 from {evere Frolls, which would 

 deftroy them j but obferve to take 

 the Glalfes off every Day, when 

 the Weather will permit, otherwife 

 the Plants will draw up and be 

 very tender, lo that upon the leafc 

 ImpreifionofCold they will fuffcr 

 very much j as alfo by being ihut 

 up clofe, they would be fubjedl to 

 rot by the damp x^ir which fur- 

 rounds them. 



In the Spring thefe Plants may 

 be tranfplanted out cither into fe- 

 parate Pots or Borders, as before 

 diredfed, where they will flower 

 early, and hereby you will be fure 

 to have the Sorts right, according 

 to the Plants which the Cuttings 

 were taken from.
