being thus prepared, the plants maybe removed 

 from the greenhouse, observing, to examine 

 each of them diligently, lest any of those plagues 

 so often mentioned, should find their way back 

 to the stove. 



The pots must not, by any means, be plunged 

 in the tan at first ; as well, on account of the 

 danger of the violent heat injuring the roots, as 

 because this early plunging might start them 

 into a fresh growth ; which, at this late season, 

 would not be at all to their advantage. They 

 must therefore be set, on the surface of the tan, 

 in regular order ; where they may stand twelve 

 or fifteen days, or perhaps longer ; being guided 

 in this particular, by the state of the atmos- 

 phere abroad, as well as the internal tempera- 

 ture of the heat in the pit : however, I would 

 not advise their being left out longer than the 

 first week in October ; as the heat of the exter- 

 nal air will be by that time considerably abated, 

 and that in the pit, I should think sufficiently 

 moderate. 



The time for plunging being fixed on, ob- 

 serve to have it done in the most exact manner, 

 placing the tall plants towards the back, or 

 centre, and the lower ones to the front, or sides
