i^ade the GlaiTes with Mats, a,^ alio, 

 Once a Week, to give 'cm a gentle 

 Refrefliing with Water : but you 

 niuft be very careful, not to give 

 them too much, which will imme- 

 diately rot them, cfpecially before 

 they have taken Root. 



In about five or fix Weeks Time, 

 the Cuttings will have fhot out 

 fome Roots, which you may eafily 

 perceive, by carefully obferving the 

 Tops of the Cuttings, which v/ill 

 then begin to advance in Height, 

 and appear of a lighter green Co- 

 lour than at the Bottoms of 'em; 

 at which Time you mufl begin to 

 give them Air by degrees, raifing 

 the GlafTcs with Bricks in the mid- 

 dle of the Day, and {o increaling 

 the Quantity of Air daily, until at 

 lad you remove them quite out of 

 th^ Bark-bed, which fhould be 

 done towards the latter end of 

 Auguft. when you fhould place 

 them into the Stove, obferving not 

 to expofe 'em too much to the Airj 

 alfo being very careful not to let 

 'em have too muchMoillure, which 

 is very deflrudive to thefe Plants. 



During the Winter- feaibn they 

 niuft be plac'd in a warm Part of 

 the Stove, which fliould always be 

 kept to the Temperate Heat, as 

 marked on Mr. lorolef^ Botanical 

 Thermometers, which I hnd does 

 better agree with all the Sorts of 

 this Plant, than a greater Degree 

 of Heat. The fir ft, third, and 

 eleventh Sorts are the tendereft, 

 jnd fl:iould therefore be plac'd nearer 

 to the Fire-place in the Stove than 

 the other Sorts, efpecially the ele- 

 venth, which fhould be plac'd to 

 receive as much Light as poflfible, 

 md muft not have one Drop of 

 Water from October to March \ for 

 it is very fubjeft to ror, upon re- 

 ceiving the leaft Moiilure at that 

 feaibn i but the other ijorts will 



E U 



require a little Water once in a 

 Fortnight or three Weeks Time, 

 efpecially if they fland in a Stove 

 where the Heat is regularly kept 

 up i this will preferve the Plants 

 from fhrinking, which they are 

 fometimes Hibjedt to, when kept 

 too dry. 



Thcie Plants fliould not be ex- 

 pos'd to the open Air in Summer, 

 but always allowed to continue in 

 the Stove, obferving to place them 

 as near the Windows as conve- 

 niently you can, that they may 

 enjoy as much free Air as poflible : 

 When the Weather will permit, 

 the Glafles fhould be open'd , but 

 they fhould never be expos'd in 

 the Night, or to hard Rains. 



July is the bed Seafon for fhift- 

 ing thefe Plants, v/hen you fliould 

 be provided with a Quantity of 

 tlie before-mention'd Earth \ and 

 after having (haken them out of 

 the Pots they before grew in, you 

 fhould with your Hands take off 

 as much of the Earth round the 

 Roots of the Plants as pofffble, 

 without breaking them j then ha- 

 ving put a few Stones in the Bot- 

 tom of the Pots to drain off the 

 Moiflurc, you fliould fill the Pots 

 about half full of the new Earth, 

 and let the Plants in the Middle of 

 the Pots, filling up the Vacancies 

 with the Earth, and preffmg it 

 down gently with your Hands, tja 

 fettle the Earth clofe to the Roots 

 of the Plants ; afterwards give them 

 a little Water, and then remove 

 them into the Stove again ^ obfer- 

 ving, if the Weather fl:iould be very 

 hot and dry, to fcreen the Glafles 

 of the Stove in the Middle of the 

 Day, until the Plants are well rooted 

 again. 



N. B. You mufl never put thofe 



Plants into large Pots , for as they 



are moft of them Inhabitants of 



Rocky
