Therefore let a proper Combortt be vad fal it 
here, by mixing equal Parts of Meadow Earth 
with Pond-Mud, with about one fourth Sand, 
and as much, or a little more Marle.. 
Let this be thrown together in Winter, ir 
afer repeated Turnings during that Seafon and 
the fucceeding Spring, it will be fit for Ufe. 
This is the Soil: and_with Refpect _ to the 
Propagation, it may ‘be either from Off-fets, or 
from. Seed. The beft Method is by Seed, but 
the greateft Care mutt be taken to have it 
good, 
With Refpe& to the Propagation “by Roots, 
it is to be the fame as in the preceding Inftance S. 
but in this, the Gardener has his Choice for va- 
rious Degrees of ‘Warmth : the Roots may be 
planted in a warm Border of this Compoft, and 
they will. fucceed tolerably, but it is beft to pot 
them.

into the Greenhouke ; 5 and. beft of all, if brought 
to it in the Stove.  ~ 
In this Cafe they muft have frequent flight 
Waterings ; ; and the Mould fhould be Caw up 
about their Bottoms, as they rife in Height.
