 frames of proper depth, furnilhed with top- 

 glafies ; and in which may both llrike the 

 young plants or crowns andfuckcfs, and con- 

 tinue them therein for the Winter ;' as alfo the

 fettling, placing the frame or frames thereon, 

 and lay fix or eight inches of any walk bark 

 within the frame, upon the dung, in which 

 to plunge the pots of pines; and which beds 

 mull be fupported in a regular good heat, by 

 applying ftrong linings of hoc dung to the 

 fides, when the heat decreafes confiderably ; 

 or alfo, when the bed is greatly deca}ed, a 

 new one may be made ready in proper time, 

 in which to remove the plants, keeping up 

 the heat by occafional linings, as in the 

 former : and when Winter or cold vve:ither 

 commences, have the fides af the frame de- 

 fended all round with warm dry long litter, 

 likevvife cover the glalTes every cold night, 

 and in fevere frofls, &c. And thus, by dung 

 hot-bed heat only, may both ftrlke the young
