 fit of it morning and evening ; in either place, 

 the pots must be plunged up to the rim in old 

 tan, or saw-dust ;* and in the latter, they will 

 also require to be covered with large cap glasses 

 over the small ones ; as well mixed cuttings, 

 as heaths : except a few of the herbaceous 

 sorts, such as Arctotis, Calendula, &c, and 

 strong, substantial broad leaved kinds, as Ca- 

 mellia, Laurus,&c. &c, which will succeed bet- 

 ter without the small glasses at this season, so 

 that they are covered with sound air-tight caps. 



There are many others, indeed all late grow- 

 ing deciduous, as well as evergreen, such as 

 pomegranates, oleas, myrtles, &c. &c. ; which 

 in general only form their callosities previous to 

 the ensuing spring, that, in my opinion, do bet- 

 ter without the small glasses ; as I have ob- 

 served their leaves to drop off much sooner 

 when too closely covered, than they do when 

 differently managed ; and it is well certified, 

 that, the longer the leaves are retained in an 

 active state, the greater the probability of suc- 



* Saw-dust is to preferred, as it prevents, while fresh, 

 the access of worms through the bottom, and snails to the 

 surface, of the pot.
