dry Weather they fhould be often 

 watered; but do not give too 

 much Water to them at once, 

 which would rot the Seeds. 



The Sprmg following, when the 

 young Plants come up, they muft 

 be carefully clear'd from Weeds, 

 and in dry Weather refrefh'd with 

 Water; but fhould ftand during 

 the Summer-feafon, in a Place 

 defended from ftrong Winds, and 

 in Winter muft be placed into 

 Sheker, where they may be cover- 

 ed in hard frofty Weather, but 

 muft have open Air when the 

 Weather is mild : In April follow- 

 ing you (hould tranfplant them 

 each into a fmgle Half-penny Pot 

 fill'd with frefti, light Earth, being 

 careful to raife them up with a 

 Ball of Earth to their Roots, and 

 when they are planted, you fhould 

 water them to fettle the Earth to 

 their Roots, then place the Pots in 

 a warm Situation, where they may 

 be defended from Sun and Wind; 

 but if you will beftow a moderate 

 Hot-bed to plunge the Pots upon, 

 it will greatly promote their ta- 

 king new Root; however, you 

 muft carefully defend them from 

 the great Heat of the Sun, v/hich 

 is injurious to them when frelh re- 

 moved i but when they have ta- 

 ken Root, you may expofe them 

 by Degrees to the open Air : If 

 you fuffer the Pots to remain plun- 

 ged all the Summer, it will pre- 

 ferve the Earth therein from dry- 

 ing fo faft as it would do, if they 

 were let upon the Ground. 



In O£iober you (hould again re- 

 move thefe Plants into Shelter, or 

 elfc plunge their Pots into the 

 Ground under a warm Hedge, 

 where they may be protected from 

 the cold North and Eaft Winds; 

 and in the Spring following you 



muft {hlft the Plants into Pots a 

 Size bigger, taking away fbme of 

 the Earth from the Out- fide of the 

 Ball, and adding fome frefti, which 

 will promote their Grov/th, and 

 fb continue to manage them as 

 was before directed, until you plant 

 them out in the Places where they 

 are defigned to remain, which 

 Ihould not be done till they are 

 three or four Years old, by which 

 Time they will be ftrong enough 

 to bear the Cold. 



The Reafon for my directing 

 thefe Plants to be preferved in Pots 

 until they are planted out for good, 

 is, becaufc they are difficult to 

 tranfplant, and being tender, will 

 require fome Shelter while young ; 

 and whoever obferves the Method 

 here laid down, will find the Plants 

 io managed, to gain two Years 

 Growth in Six, from thofe rais'd 

 in the open Air, and will be in 

 lefs Danger of being deftroy'd; 

 and as the Trouble and Expence 

 of raifing them this Way is not 

 great, fo it Is worth pradlifing, 

 lince in a few Years the Trees 

 will recompenfe the Trouble. 



Thefe Plants ftiould have a frefh, 

 light, undunged Soil as the for- 

 mer, and may be placed in Plan- 

 tations with them, obferving to 

 let thefe be placed in a Line be- 

 low thofe, for they will not grov7 

 &> faft with us as they do, nor do 

 I believe the.y will make fuch large 

 Timber, tho' this is much prefera- 

 ble to the Timber of the other 

 Sorts. 



The Timber of this Tree is of 

 a redifli Colour, and very fweet, 

 and is commonly known in Eng- 

 land by the Name of Cedar Wcod^ 

 though there are divers Sorts of 

 Wood called by that Name, which 

 come from very different Trees*
