they may respectively require ; but the dews will 

 sufficiently refresh the foliage, and syringing or 

 watering over head will be unnecessary. 



The plants, plunged in the ground, unless the 

 weather be very dry indeed, will require no atten- 

 tion with respect to watering. They should be 

 carefully supported by poles or sticks, however, ac- 

 cording to their sizes, that they may not be loosened 

 in the pots by the action of the wind ; .which they 

 would otherwise be liable to, as being recently pot- 

 ted, the earth will not yet be firm about their 

 roots. 



Care of the Plants left in the House. 



The plants left in the house also, that is, the 

 shrubby kinds, should be revised, for the purpose of 

 shifting such as need ; which may be done in all re- 

 spects as directed in March. Those much reduced 

 in the balls, or in danger of flagging in consequence 

 of being repotted, should be shaded for a few days; 

 afterwards replacing them on the stages, and at- 

 tending to both them and the balsams, globes, &c. 

 as formerly. 



The house should now be shut up at night ; but 

 it must be opened betimes in the morning, and have 

 full air through the day, in good weather ; shutting 

 up in heavy rains, however, in order to defend the 

 plants from too much wet.
