the height of the refpef^ive plants when at 

 full growth, not placed promifcuoufly long 

 iHcks to plants of moderate ftature ; and let the 

 flem be tied to ihe iticks in regular order, with 

 llrings of frefli bafs mat, or occafionally for 

 fome tall ftrong plants, with old rope yarn, 

 &;c. the tying concealed as much as prfiiblc, 

 cutting off the long dangling ends clofe, that 

 the whole may appear neat and decent ; the 

 climbing kinds ihould alfo have fticks adapted 

 to their order of climbing, thofe climbing by 

 tendrils or clafpers, as in the pea tribe, 

 branchy flicks are moft eligible, and of the 

 volubilate or twining climbers, as hops, &c. 

 tall ftraight poles are proper, but they will 

 alfo afcend upon any kind of f>icks of a 

 proper length ; and as fome plants are natu- 

 rally of a trailing growth, extending on the 

 furface of ihe ground, fome may either be 

 permitted to advance in their natural order, 

 or others tied up to flicks. 



As the different plants advance in their 

 general growth, if any larger forts fpread, or 

 ilraggle about irregularly, either prune or 

 train them to proper order ; cutting away 

 broken and decayed fiioots, and dead leaves ; 

 and keep the ground between them neat and 

 clean from weeds, by occafional hoeing, 

 raking, and weeding. 



■ Thofe that are in pots muft be often 

 watered in Spring and Summer, in dry wea- 

 ther, two or three times a week, or in very 

 ]^ot dry weather in Summer, the pots will 

 v/ant almoil daily watering.
