Pond-mud, and a little rotted Cowding. 
In this it may be raifed from Seeds, but that 
Way is tedious. The Cuttings grow freely, and 
will with due Care make Kandiiie Plants: 
Let it be managed thus. In the Beginning 
of May, fill as many Pots with this Compoft 
as you defire to raife Plants. Set Carefully in 
each of them one good Cutting from a thriv- 
ing Shrub, and fixing the Earth well about it, 
give a gentle Watering. 
Place thefe Pots in a Bark- bed, that has a 
very moderate Heat; fhade them, and water 
them gently every Evening, till they have taken 
good Root. Then by Peps inure them to the 
Air, by opening the Glafies. 
In the Evening of a mild Day, take sheni 
out entirely; and fet them among the hardy 
Exoticks in the open Air.

Thefe feveral Flofcules which make one of
