alfo fupport their Stems with 

 Stakes, in order to make them 

 flrait, otherwife they are very apt 

 to grow crooked and unfightly. 



When the Plants have been thus 

 manag'd three or four Years, you 

 may tranfplant them into the Places 

 where they are deiign'd to remain : 

 The beft time for this Work is the 

 latter-end of March, or the Begin- 

 ning of April, juft before the Plants 

 begin to fl-ioot: but in removing 

 them, you fhould dig round their 

 Roots, and cut off all downright or 

 jftrong Roots which have fhot out 

 to a great Diftance, that you may 

 the better preserve a Ball of Earth 

 to each Plant, otherwife they are 

 fubjedl to mifcany : And when you 

 have plac'd them in their new 

 Quarters, you fhould lay fome 

 Mulch upon the Surface of the 

 Ground, to prevent its drying j 

 and give them ibme Water twice 

 a Week in very dry Weather : but 

 do not repeat it too often, nor give 

 it to them in too great Quantities, 

 which will rot the new Fibres, and 

 prevent their Growth. You fiiould 

 alfo fupport the Plants with Stakes 

 until they have taken fall hold of 

 the Earth, to prevent their being 

 turn'd out of the Ground, or dif- 

 plac'd by the Winds, which will 

 deftroy the Fibres that were newly 

 put out, and greatly injure the 

 Plants. Thefe Trees delight in a 

 middling Soil, which is neither too 

 wet and fliff, nor too dry, tho' 

 the latter is to be preferr'd to the 

 former, provided it be ixefh. 



The Sort with ftrip'd Leaves is 

 at prefent pretty rare, and iome- 

 what tenderer than the others (as 

 are moft Sorts of variegated Plants 

 lefs capable to endure the Cold, 

 thanthofe of the fame kinds which 

 are plain ; the ftriping of Plants al- 

 ways proceeding from their Weak-

nefs:) This is preferv'd in fortie 

 Gardens as a Curioiity, but may 

 be propagated in the lame manner 

 with the former. 



Thofe Sorts with fmall Leaves, 

 are commonly two Years before 

 they take Root when lay'd, therefore 

 they fliould not be diflurb'd ibonerj 

 for the railing them out of the 

 Ground does greatly retard their 

 Rooting.
