When they have, in this Bed, rooted pretty 
well, they muft, by Degrees, be inur’d to more. 
and when they bear this without | 
dnd more Air; 
Hurt, it will be Time to take them from the 
Bed. 
About two Months from the Tire of their 
_ firft planting, they may be taken otit of the Bed. 
Bat as the Seafon will be now advanced, and cold 
Nights come on, they muft not be fet out into 
the open Air; but taken from the Bark-Bed to 
the Green-houle. 
They muft be there etaerd ‘forwards, arid have 
a great deal of Air by Day ; 
fended, by fhutting the Glaffes, in an Evening. 
Ail this Time they muft have frequent gentle 
Watering, and let the Gardener take Care that 
the Paflagé at the Bottom of the Pot be free, and : 
io Wet lodges i in it. | 
In Offober they muft be retnov’d into the Stove, 
and from this Time they muft have frequent Wa- 
terings; the Water having ftood four and twenty — 
Hours in the Stove, that it ae be of the fame 
Temperature with the Air. 
With this Management they will grow very : 
and when the 
confiderably during the Winter ; 
Spring comes on, they muft be admitted to a 
more free Air by very flow Degrees, becaufe the 
Winter’s Growth has made them tender. 
Toward the Middle of the Summer they muft } 
be again remov’d into the Green-houfe, out of | 
the Stove, and gently water'd at Times. 
In the very Heat of Summer it will do them | 
eood to fet them out for a few Weeks among the 
Gren houfe Plants, expos’d at that Seafon; but 
they muft not be expos'd to the leaft Daiiger of 
cold Nights. 
This Care is to be repeated and continued ac- 
cording to the Seafons; and thus the Off-fets will — 
_ be brought to flower about the third Year, 
The Beginning of Auguft will be afterwards the 
beft Time of removing them from their old Earth, 
and giving new of the fame Kind. This greatly 
ftrengthens their Growth, and promotes their flow- 
ering. 
To this Purpofe, they muft be carefully taken 
but they muft be de- | Green-houfe, and give them a geritle Watering. ©

| about the Roots. 
Let the feveral Parts be then examined, to adie 
whether any be decay’d, and if there be, let fach 
| be cut off. Then put fome Pebbles into the Bot- 
tom of the Pots: fill to a’ proper Height with the 
 Compoft, and carefully put in the Plant. 
Diftribute its Roots régularly , pour in a litele 
of the Soil very dry between them, and fhake the 
Pot, that it may fettle among the Roots. ‘Then 
cover them with more, and fix them fecurely and 
fteadily in the Pot. Put them again into the 
This muft be occafionally repeated; and under 
this Advantage of Shade and Shelter, Moifture 
and Warmth, they will prefently accommodate 
themfelves to their new Earth, and grow with 
Vigour. 3 
_ This is the whole Cate requir’d in nici up 
_ thefe Aloes to a due Degree of Strength for flow- 
ering: but when the Time for that approaches, a 
| particular Attention muft be fhewn to-them. 
_ Phey will fiower as they ftand in the Green- 
houfe; but the Flowers will not there have half their 
natural Beauty. More Heat is given by Nature, 
for this Purpofe, in their own ——— and more 
} muft be allow’d them here. 
Toward the Time of their visi oweeihg, 
the fecond or third Year, let the Gardener watch 
his Plants, and where he fees the Shoots for a 
Stalk, remove it into the Stove. iW 
There let him give it Water often, and in tle 
Quantities, and always warm’d, by ftanding 1 in the 
Stove, to its proper Temperature. » Thus the 
flowering Stalk will rife with all its natural Ad- 
vantages, and will produce a Spike of more than 
fifty Flowers, opening in a gradual Succeffion. 
After this the Plants will continue regularly 
| flowering every Year, and producing a fufficient 
Number of Off-fets from the Sides, by which a 
hew Succeffion may be rais’d, as we have directed. 
The Care and Management of the grown-up 
‘Plants muft be the fame with that of the young 
ones, which we have already given; and no more 
is required to preferve them in their full Vigour.

This is a very elegant Shrub, fo feccuacht at 
prefent in our Gasdens, that we need not recom- 
mend it farther. | 
It is commonly known by the Naine of Aater- 
noides, given to it by Commettne, ‘from fome Re- 
femblance of the Flowér to that of the Actemus. 
Linnaeus, and the more correct Writers, call 
it Phylica, and diftinguifh it by the Addition of 
Foltis linearibus verticillatis: Phylica, ‘with narrow 
Leaves growing ‘in Clufters round the Stalk. 
ft is ‘a Shrub of a Yard in Height, and ‘of a 
very Beautiful, ‘bufhy, and ‘wild Growth: 
: 
‘pointed, ‘and of a firm Subftance.

The ‘Leaves are ‘very ‘numerous ond ‘{nall -
