 Gaert. A native of Carolina, and profeffor Martyn fays, alfo 

 of Cochinchina, but quotes no authority. The feeds were 

 fent to Miller by Cateftiy, in 1724; and the plants raifed 

 from them flouriflied in the open air till the fevere froll of 

 1740, when moft of them perilhed. They are calily raifed 

 from feeds on a moderate hoi-bed ; but as the young plants 

 are tender, they (liould be placed under a frame before the 

 firfl autumnal frofts, and fliould be kept fiieltered during the 

 winter, having frefli air whenever the weather is mild. The 

 following fpriiig they fhnuld be tranfplanted into frtfli pots 

 or into the nurfery bed in a warm fituation ; in three or 

 four years they wdl have acquired llrength enough to live 

 in the open air through the winter ; but in fevere frolls the 

 furface of the ground about their roots flionld be covered 

 with old tan, and tlieir top.s protedted by ftraw or forn.
