ofF; and if you have the Conve- 

 niency of a Glafs-Srove, or a c^iecp 

 Frame, to place the Pots into at 

 that Seafbn, to draw them out 

 again, it will be of great Service in 

 forwarding their Flowering : yet 

 ftill you fhould be careful not to 

 force them too much -, and as loon 

 as they have made Shoots three or 

 four Inches long, the Glaffes ihould 

 be opened in the Day-time, that 

 the Plants may by degrees be inured 

 to the open Air, into which they 

 fhould be removed by thelarter End 

 of May, or the Beginning oi June, 

 otherwife their Flowers will not be 

 {6 fair, nor continue fo long. If 

 the Autumn proves favourable, theie 

 Plants win continue to produce 

 frefh Flowers until Michaehnns i and 

 ibmetimes, when they are ftrong, 

 they will continue Flowering till 

 Chrijimas, or after j but then they 

 muit ha\^e a great Share of Air 

 when the Weather is mild and will 

 admit of it, otherwife the Flower- 

 Buds will grow mouldy, and decay. 



But notwithftanding moft People 

 preierve thefe Plants in Green- 

 houfes, yet they will endure the 

 ■Cold of our ordinary Winters in 

 the open Air, if planted again ft a 

 warm Wall, and cover'd with Mats 

 in frofty Weather y they'll alfo pro- 

 duce ten times as many Flowers in 

 one Seafon as thofe kept in Pots, 

 and the Flowers will likewife be 

 much larger : but they ihould not 

 be planted abror^d till they have 

 fome Strength j lb that it will be 

 neceflary to keep 'em in Pots two 

 or three Years, whereby they may 

 be fheltei'd from the Froft in Win- 

 ter : And when they are planted 

 againft the Wall, which fliould be 

 in May, that they may take good 

 Root m the Ground before the fuc- 

 ceeding Winter, you muft turn 

 them out of the Pots, preierving 



J A 



tht Earth to their Roots; and having 

 made Holes in the Border where 

 they are to be planted^ you :^ould 

 place them therein, with their Steins 

 clofe to the Wall ; then fill up the 

 Holes round their Roots with good 

 frefh rich Earth, and give thena 

 fome Water, to fettle the Ground 

 about them, and nail up their Shoots 

 to the Wall, Shortening fiich of 

 them as are very long, that they 

 may puih out new Shoots below, 

 to furnilh the Wall, continuing ro 

 nail up ail the Shoots as they arc 

 produced. In the middle, or to- 

 ward the latter end of Jaly, thej 

 will begin to fiowerj, and continue- 

 to produce new Flowers untiJ the 

 Froft prevents them j which ^whea 

 you obferve, you fhould carefullf 

 cut off all the Tops of fuch Shoots 

 as have Buds formed upon them, as 

 alfo thofe which have the P^cmains 

 of faded Flowers left, for if theie 

 are fuffer'd to remain on, they will 

 fbon grow mouldy, efpecial]y when 

 the Trees are covered, and thereby 

 infeft many of the teiider BrancheSj 

 which will gi-eatly injure the Treej. 



Towards the middle of N&uernSer 

 (if the Weather be cold anxi tl^ 

 Nights froily) you muff begin to 

 cover your Trees with Mats, whi^h 

 fhould be nail'd over them pretty 

 Ciofe i but this ihould be done 

 when the Trees are perfedllj dry» 

 otherwife the Wet being lodg'd 

 upon the Branches, will foon C2u(e 

 a Mouldinefs upon them, at>4 thQ 

 Air being excluaed theretrosm, -v^ili 

 rot them in a thort Timc^ it wti] 

 alfo be very neceffary to take off 

 thefe Mats as often as the Weather 

 will permit, to prevent this Mod- 

 dinels, and only keep them ciofa 

 cover 'd in frolfy Weather^ at which 

 time you ihould alfo lay fome Mulch 

 upon rhe Surface of the Groiind 

 about their RootSj and faften lQmt3
