The Layers will (in a moneth or six weeks) strike 

 root, being planted in a light loamy earth mix'd with 

 excellent rotten soil and seifted : plant six or eight 

 in a pot to save room in Winter : keep them well from 

 too much Rains : but shade those which blow from the

Yet also you may lay Myrtils, and other curious 

 Greens. 



Water young planted Shrubs and Layers, etc., as 

 Orange-trees, Myrtils, Granades, Amomum, etc.

 soon as you have taken them up, as you did the Cycla- 

 mens. 



Remove now your Dens Canivus, etc.

 Tulips, and all Bulbous-roots, also for Anemonies — Ra-
