mer, muft now be carried in again, efpecially 



if the feafon proves wet, or the nights cold j 



for, by the favourabienefs of the weather, thefe 



plants are fometimes permitted to remain abroad 



until the end of this month, when, at other 



times, the weather is often fo bad as to render 



it neceffary to carry them in at the beginning or 



middle of the month ; for much wet is very 



prejudicial to them, and fmall morning frofls 



would deftroy or greatly damage many of 



, them : therefore every one fliould be direfted 



by the feafon, when to remove thefe plants into 



the houfe. 



If the bark-beds, in which the Pine apples 

 are plunged, have loft their heat, they (hould 

 be refrefhed, by ftirring the bark up with a fork, 

 and adding fome frefh tan thereto, which will 

 renew the heats and, if the nights prove cold, 

 the glaffes fliould be carefully covered, that the 

 plants may be kept in a growing ftate^ for it is 

 better to keep them in the bark until the mid^ 

 die or end of Od:ober, if the feafon be not too 

 cold, than to place them in the dry fto/e too 

 early: becaufe, whenever you remove them into 

 the ftove, there muft be fi' es made every night, 

 which will dry the earth in the pots fo faft, 

 that they will require to be frequently watered, 

 which is not fo proper for thefe plants at this
