Thefe, with moft other Sorts 

 of Trees, Shrubs, and Herbaceous 

 Plants from very hot Countries, 

 fhould be plung'd in the Bark-bed 

 for the Rcafons already allign'd j 

 and upon the Top of the Flues may 

 be fet the Anana or Tine-Apple 

 Plants in Winter, as alfo the Melon- 

 Thijlle, the tender Sorts of Cereus's 

 and Euphorbiums, with other very 

 tender fucculcnt Plants, which re- 

 quire to be kept dry in Winter. 



As in tliis Stove are plac'd the 

 Plants of the hottefl: Parts of the 

 Eafi and Weft-lndiss, fo the Heat 

 Ihould be kept up equal to that 

 mark'd Ananct, upon Mr. Fowler's 

 Thermometers, and fliould never be 

 fuffer'd to be above eight or ten 

 Degrees cooler at mofl:, nor fliould 

 the Spirit be rais'd above ten De- 

 grees higher in the Thermometer ,• 

 both which Extreams will be 

 equally injurious to the Plants in 

 the Winter Seafon. 



But in order to judge more ex- 

 a£lly of the Temper of the Air in 

 the Stove, the Thermometer fliould 

 be hung up at a good Diilance from 

 the Fire, nor fhould the Tube be 

 expos'd to the Sun, but on the con- 

 trary, the Back hung thereto, be- 

 cauie whenever the Sun fhines upon 

 the Bali of the Thermometer but 

 one iingle Hour^ it will raife the 

 Liquor in the Tube coniiderably, 

 when perhaps the Air of the Houie 

 is not near io warm; which many 

 times aeceives thofe who are not 

 aware of this. 



In the Management of the Plants 

 placed in the Bark- bed, there muft 

 be a particular Regard had to the 

 Temper of the Bark and the Air of 

 the Houfe, that neirher be too vio- 

 lent; as .ulo ^o water 'em frequently, 

 beca^ie when they are in a conti- 

 nual Warmth, which will caufe 

 'em to perlpire freely, if they have 



s T 



not a conflant Supply to anfwer 

 their Difcharge, their Leaves will 

 decay, and foon fall off. As to the 

 farther Diredions concerning the 

 Culture of the particular Plants, the 

 Reader is defir'd to turn to their 

 feveral Articles, where they are 

 diftindily treated of. 



The other Sort of Stove, which 

 is commonly call'd the Dry Stove 

 (as was before faid) may be either 

 built with upright and floping 

 Glaffes at the Top, in the fame 

 Manner, and after the fame Model 

 of the Bark-Stove j or elfe the front 

 GlafTes, which fhould run from the 

 Floor to the Ceiling, may be laid 

 floping, to an Angle of 45- Degrees, 

 the better to admit the Rays of the 

 Sun in Spring and Autumn : The 

 latter Method has been chiefly fol- 

 low'd by moft Perfons who have 

 built thefe Sort of Stoves; but were 

 I to have the Contrivance of a i^'^ot^^ 

 of this Kind, I wou'd have it built 

 after the Model of the Bark-Stove, 

 with upright GlafTes in Front, and 

 floping GlafTes over them, becaufe 

 this will more eafily admit the Sun 

 at all the different Seafbns 5 for in 

 Summer, when the Sun is high, 

 the Top Glafles will admit the Rays 

 to fliine almoft all over the Houfcj 

 and in Winter, when the Sun is 

 low, the Front Glaffcs will admit 

 its Rays; whereas when the Glaffes 

 are laid to any Declivity in one Di- 

 redtion, the Rays of the Sun will 

 not fail diredbiy thereon above a 

 Fortnight in Autumn, and about 

 the fame Tmic in Spring, and du- 

 ring the other Parts of the Year 

 they Will tall obliquely thereon ■■> and 

 in Summer, when the Sun is high, 

 the Rays will not reach above rive 

 or fix Feet from the Glaffcs : Bcfides, 

 the Plants plac'd toward the Back- 

 ■ part of the Houfe will not thrive 

 in the Summer Seafon for want of 



Air,
