 2twi!l be proper to tranlplant them 

 but where they are to remain, 

 either in Wildernefs Quarters, or in 

 Clumps of various Trees, where 

 they will add to the Diveriity. The 

 b'eft Seafon for tranfpianting thefe 

 Trees is in the Spring, juft before 

 they begin to flioot, though they 

 may be tranfplan'ced in Ociober and 

 Jslov ember, as is pra6iis'd for other 

 deciduous Trees. 



Thefe do commonly grow in 

 England to the Height of twelve 

 or tourtesn Feet, io H-.ould be plac'd 

 with other Trees of the fame 

 Growth. 



. They may alfo be propagated by 

 laying down their tender Branches, 

 which will take Root in the Com- 

 •0'3.(s of one Year, and may afrer- 

 vvards be taken off and tranipbntcd, 

 as hath been dirc<aed for the Seedling 

 Plants. 



' The African Sort does not pro- 

 duce Seeds in this Country, as I 

 could ever obfervej fo is only pro- 

 pagated by laying down the render 

 Branches in the Spring, obferving 

 to notch 'em at a Joint, as is pr:i61:is'd 

 in laying down Carnations. Thefe, 

 if duly water'd in dry V/eather, will 

 take Root in the Compafs of one 

 Year, and may thefucceedmg Spring 

 be taken off, and tranfplanted into 

 Pots, fili'd with light, frefn, rich 

 Earth, and placed in a fnady Part 

 of the Green houfe, until they have 

 taken Root, and in M/^^'they Ibould 

 be carried into the open Air, placing 

 'em amongft other exotick Plants, 

 in a warm Situation. During the 

 Summer Seafon they muif be fre- 

 quently watered, and when their 

 Roots hive; iiU'd the Pors, they 

 fliould be remov'd into larger, ob- 

 ferving always in fnifting thfle 

 Plants, to pare off the Earth and 

 Fibres on the Outfide of the Bull,

before they are placed into t^t 

 orher Pots, which mud alio tfd 

 filled up with the fime light rick 

 Earth as before diredfed. In Win^ 

 tcr they muft te houfcd with 

 Oranges, Myrtles, ^c. being too 

 tender to endure the Cold of our 

 Climate in the op^n Air, but do 

 require no artificial' Warmth in Win-' 

 terij und though the Flowers of 

 this Tree (which it often produces 

 in England) are not very beautiful,' 

 yet as it retains its Leaves all the 

 W;nrcr, v/hich have a very fnining 

 Appearance, when- the Trees are 

 train'd up to regular Heads, it adds 

 greatly to the Beauty of' a Green- 

 houfe, v/hen intermix'd with exo- 

 tick Plants, and def.'rvcs a Place in 

 every good Coliedfion.
