Autumn, muft again have a final fhifting 

 into, the largelt iized pots, to remain for 

 fruiting. 



In Auguft or September, however, the large 

 fuccciTion pine plants, which are for fruiting 

 next year, muil be ihifted into the large pots, 

 where they are finally to remain, (24's, or 

 rather i6^s, if itrong full plants) having a 

 quantity of rich garden mold, fuch as has 

 been prepared in a comport heap well enriched 

 with dry rotten dung, and if it has been mixed 

 with a goad quantity of light, furface loamy 

 earth, it will be preferable. Turn the plants 

 out of their prefent pots with the ball of earth 

 entire, which, if watered the day before, the 

 ball will more readily adhere about the roots, 

 from which take away fome of the outward 

 earth at bottom and fides, and cut off the 

 ilraggling roots; then, having fome frefh 

 earth in the new pots, two or three inches 

 depth or more, place the plants therein, one 

 in each pot, and v/hich fill up with more frelh 

 foil, and give water; and then forking up 

 the bark-bed, previoufly adding (ome new tan, 

 if thought neceflary, working up the new and 

 old properly, plurige the pots to their tops; 

 or if a rtrong renewed heat, plunged only 

 half, f(.r a week or two, then fully plunged. 

 After this, giving proper fupplies of water, 

 they will foon llrike frefh root, and advance 

 in growth; and thus they are to remain till 

 Ottober, when an entire new b^ rk-bed mull 

 be prepared for their reception, in which to 



remain.
