t'o be Trees of great Magnitude, 

 from which the Inhabitants are an- 

 nually flirnilh'd with great Quanti- 

 ties of Cotton. One of thefe Trees 

 has a purpiifli, and the other a yel- 

 low FJqwer, which I believe is the 

 only Difference between them. 



All thefe Sorts are preferved in 

 the Gardens of thofe who are cu- 

 rious in collecSing rare Plants. They 

 are ealily raifed from Seeds (which 

 may be obtain'd frefh from the Pla- 

 ces ot their Growth 5) thefe muft 

 be fown upon a Hot-bed early in 

 the Spring, and when the Plants 

 come up, they muft be tranfplant- 

 cd out each into a feparate fmall 

 Pot, filled with light frefli Earth, 

 and plunged into a moderate Hot- 

 bed of Tanners Bark, obferving to 

 water and fhade them until they 

 have taken Root, after which they 

 ihould have Air and Water in Pro- 

 portion to the Warmth of the Sea- 

 fon, and the Heat of the Bed in 

 which they are placed : For if they 

 are too much drawn, by keeping 

 the Gi^lTes clofe down in the Day- 

 time, they will run up very weak 

 and {lender, fo as not to be able to 

 iupport themfeives, and if they 

 are too much expofed to the Air, 

 they will not make any Progrefs 

 in their Growth. 



When the Plants are fo far ad- 

 vanced, as to fill the Pots with 

 their Roots, they fliould be Hiaken 

 out and put into larger Pots, which 

 fhouid be filled with the fame 

 light frelh Earth, and agiin plung- 

 ed into the Hot-bed and managed 

 as before i thus from time to time 

 as the Plants advance, rhey muft 

 be removed into larger Pots, and 

 as the Warmth of the Seaibn in- 

 crea e-, fo^they fliould have a grea- 

 ter Share of Air 5 and v/hen they 

 are too tail to cortinue under the 

 Giailes of the Hpt-ted Frame, they

muft be removed into the Stove 

 and placed in the Tan-hed, amongft 

 other tender Exotick Trees an4 

 Shrubs; in which Place the an- 

 nual Sorts will produce their Flow- 

 ers in Autumn; but they rarely 

 produce Pods in this Country. 



The Tree Kinds muft be conti- 

 nued in this Bark Stove all the 

 Winter, and if they are placed 

 with the ^ll-f[ice, Sea-Jide Grape, 

 and fuch other IVefi-Indmn Trees, 

 obferving to keep the Air ot the 

 Houfe about ten Degrees above the 

 temperate Heat mark'd on Mr. 

 Fofvler's Botanical Thermometers, 

 they will thriv? very well, provi- 

 ded they are often refrefhed with 

 Water.
