In about a Month's Time after 

 planting, thefe Cuttings will be 

 rooted, when you muft begin to 

 expofe them to the open Air by 

 degrees, firft drawing the Pors out 

 of the Tan, and fetting them on 

 the Top i then raife the GlafTes 

 very high in the Day-time} and in 

 about a Week atter remove the 

 Pots into a Green-houfe, and there 

 harden them for another Week j 

 after which they may be expos'd 

 to the open Air in a well defended 

 Place, obferving not to i^t them 

 into a Place too much expos 'd to 

 the Sun, until they have been 

 enur'd to the open Air for fome 

 Tune. 



In this Place the Plants may re- 

 main until the Beginning of Octo- 

 ber 5 at which Time you ihould 

 remove them into the Conferva- 

 tory, placing them as near the' 

 Windows as poflible at firft, letting 

 them have as much free open Air 

 as the Seafon will permit, by keep- 

 ing the Windows open whenever 

 the Weather is good : And now 

 you muft begin to abate your Wa- 

 terings, giving it to them fparing- 

 lyi efpecially the fifth Sort, which 

 is fo very fucculent, that upon its 

 having a little too much Water in 

 Winter, it will certainly rot i but 

 you fhould not fuffer its Leaves to 

 fhrink for want of Moiflure, which 

 is another Extreme fome People run 

 into for want of a little Oblerva- 

 tion ; and when they are fufter'd to 

 flirink for want of Water, they 

 fcldom fail to rot when they have 

 Water given them, for their Parts 

 being conftrided for want of fuf- 

 ficient Moifture to keep their Vef- 

 fels diftended, they are rendered in- 

 capable ofdifchargingthis Moifture 

 whenever they receive it again. 



Thefe Plants are all of them 

 pretty hardy, except the fifth Sorts 



c R 



which muft be prelerv*d in a warm 

 airy Part of a good Stove in the 

 V/inter, The beft Method to treat 

 the other Sorts is, to place them 

 in an open, airy, dry Glafs-Framc 

 among Ficoides's and African Hmtfi" 

 leeksy where they may enjoy as 

 much of the Sun-iliine as poffible, 

 and have a free, dry, open Air ^ for 

 if thefe are plac'd in a common 

 Green-houfe amongft Ihrubby Plants, 

 which peripire freely, it will fiU 

 the Houfe with a damp Air which 

 thefe iucculent Plants are apt to 

 imbibe, and tiiereby becoming too 

 replete with Moifture, do often caft 

 their Leaves, and many times their 

 Branches alfo decay, and the whole 

 Plant perifties. 



The fifth Sort, as was before- 

 mention'd, muft be preferv'd in a 

 warm Stove, with Aloes, Cereus's, 

 8cc. which may be kept up to the 

 temperate Heat as mark'd on Mr. 

 Fowler's Thermometers : This muft 

 have very little Water in Winter, 

 and be planted in a very dry, fandy 

 Soil. 



The fourth Sort produces the 

 moft beautiful Flowers of any of 

 them, and deferves a Place in every 

 good Collection of Plants j as do 

 the fecond, third, fifth and lixth, 

 for the regular Beauty of their 

 Stems, and large, fair, thick fuc- 

 culent Leaves j and the iecond, 

 third, and lixth Sorts produce very 

 fair, handfbme Bunches of Flov/ersj 

 but they feldom produce Seeds in 

 England.
