Continue to make cuttings offuch exotick 

 plants which are wanted for increafe, provided 

 it was not done the preceding months. The 

 beft method of planting cuttings at this feafon, 

 is, to prepare a bed of ligh": rich earth, into^ 

 which the cuttings fliould be planted pretty 

 clofe together ; and then arch the bed over with 

 hoops, covering the bed clofe with oiled paper 

 to {hade them in hot weather ; and obfervc to 

 water them duly v/hen they require \ but let 

 them be expofed every night to receive the 

 dew, which will be of great ufe to them ; 

 but this is to be pradtifed only upon fuch forts 

 of plants as are not very tender, becaufe the 

 tender (love plants will require a moderate hot- 

 bed to make them put out roots, efpecially the 

 fucculent plants 3 fuch as Cereus, Euphorbi- 

 ums, Cadus*s, fome forts of Cotyledon, ^c. 

 but all the forts of Geraniums, Myrtles, Se- 

 neci, Arftotus's, Hardy Apocynums, Meii- 

 anthus, Sorrel tree, Leonurus, African Sage 

 trees, Phlomifes, Hermannias, Amber tree, 

 and other flirubs from the Cape of Good Hope, 

 will take root much better in a bed of rich 

 earth, than if planted in a hot-bed.
