Pift be healed over, they fliould be 

 planted into fmall Pots, liU'd with 

 light, fandy Earth, mix'd with 

 Lime-rubbil"h, and then plunged into 

 a Hot-bed of Tanncrs-bark, ob- 

 fcrving now and then to refrefli 

 them gently with Moifture j but 

 they fhould never receive much 

 Wet, which will rot them. 



After they have taken Root they 

 may have a greater Share of Air, 

 by raifing the Glafles, but they muft 

 never be intirely expos'd to the 

 open Air : In this Bed they may 

 remain until the Beginning of O^o- 

 her, when they muil be remov'd 

 into the Stove, and placed with the 

 Melon and Torch-Thijlle, in a warm 

 dry Situation, and during the Win- 

 ter Seafbn they fhould have very 

 little Water, which if given in 

 Plenty, feldom fails to rot 'em. In 

 the Spring thefe Plants fliould be 

 again placed into a Bark-bed, which 

 will greatly promote their Growth, 

 and will caule 'em to produce 

 Flowers, which they feldom do 

 when kept dry upon Shelves in the 

 Stove, nor will they make any 

 conliderable Progrefs in fuch a Si- 

 tuation. 



Thefe Plants are preferved for 

 their odd Appearance amongtl other 

 iiicculent Plants, their Leaves being 

 very large, thick, and full of a 

 milky acrid Juice.
