 tion, when they are brought out of the forcing 

 frame, by this method they will break out 

 again very ftrong and well. The Orange ftems 

 alfo which are annually imported from Italy\ 

 fliould be treated in this way, to force out 

 new flioots from them ; but the roots of thefe 

 Ihould be foaked in water two days before they 

 are planted, and all the decayed and bruifed 

 roots fhould be entirely cut off, their ftems 

 carefully wailied, and cleanfed from filth, and 

 the bed into which they are plunged, muft be 

 of a moderate temperature for heat. 



The tan in the beds of the ftoves will now 

 require to be ftirred up, and fome frefli bark 

 added to them to renew their heat, which will 

 now begin to decline, and if not timely re- 

 newed, the plants will fuffer gready : but this 

 muft be done in a warm day, when the air is 

 foft ; for in very cold weather the glaffes muft 

 not be opened, fo that the bark could not be 

 then put in without injuring the plants. At 

 the fame time, fuch of the plants as are rooted 

 through the pots, ihould be ftiifted into pots 

 a fize larger ; but in doing of this, great care 

 nruft be had, not to injure their roots, be- 

 caufe at this feafon, they will not foon recover 

 fuch a check.
