will be in about 24 Hours, you mould 

 carefully take up the young Plants out 

 of the firft Hot-bed, planting a fingle 

 one in the Middle of each of thefe 

 Pots, giving them a gentle Water- 

 ing to fettle the Earth to their Roots, 

 and fcreening them with Mats over 

 the Glafles from the Heat of the 

 Sun, until they have taken Root ; 

 after which time you muft give them 

 Air, by raifing the Glafles, in pro- 

 portion to the Heat of the Wea- 

 ther, or to the Coniiitut.on of the 

 Plants. 



The flrft and fecond Sort?, being 

 very hardy, may have a greater Pro- 

 portion of Air, and by Midfummer 

 ihould have theGlafles intirely taken 

 off, that they may be hardened to 

 endure the open Air by degrees : 

 thefe, the firft and fecond Winter, 

 fhould be fheltered in a common 

 Hot-bed- frame, until they are grown 

 woody ; aker which time (in the 

 Spring of the Year) they may be 

 turned out of the Pots into the open 

 Ground, where they are intended 

 to remain ; which ihould be inWil- 

 dernefs-quarters, or Clumps of 

 Trees, where they may be fheltered 

 from the Fury of violent Winds, 

 ©therwife they will be very fubject 

 to be fplit thereby. 



When thefe 1 rces have arifen to 

 the Height of eight or ten Feet, they 

 will then make very ftrong and vi- 

 gorous Shoots ; which fhould be 

 riow-and-then fhortened, that the 

 Heads of the Trees may be clofer ; 

 and their Branches by this means 

 will be much lefs liable to break 

 with Winds, than when they are 

 permitted to remain at full Length, 

 and the Trees will be much the 

 handfomer. 



Thefe Plants delight in a loofe 

 Soil, rather moid than ery, efpecially 

 the iecond Sort, in which they will 

 ffiQOt very vigorcufly. 



The fourth, fifth, and eighth 

 Sorts are tenderer, and fhould be 

 kept in the Hot-beds till July, when 

 they may be expoCed to the Air by 

 degrees, tho' the Glafles fhould not 

 be quite removed from them the firft 

 Year. Thefe muft be fet in a Stove 

 the firft and fecond Winters, while 

 young, as being then pretty tender; 

 but when they are grown woody, 

 will endure in a good Green-houfe 

 very well, and may be expofed in 

 Summer-time, with Oranges, Myr- 

 tles, ts'c. 



The third, fixth, and feventh 

 Sorts are very tender (efpecially 

 while young), and therefore fhould 

 have an Hot-bed of Tanners Bark ; 

 and as they increafe in Bulk, fhould 

 be fhifted into bigger Pots : the 

 Earth for thefe fnould be a little 

 lighter, and more inclined to a 

 Sand, than for the other Sorts; but 

 never give them too big Pots. The 

 third Sort, being the hardieft of the 

 three, will, when grown to be 

 woody, Hand in a common Stove, 

 amongft Guava's, Viburnums, £sV. 

 and in Summer-time, in warm Wea- 

 ther, may enjoy the open free Air : 

 but the fixth and feventh Sorts muft 

 have a Bark-iiove in Winter, nor 

 fhould they be expofed to the open 

 Air in Summer, at lealt for four or 

 Ave Year^, until they are grown very 

 w oody ; for they are very tender, 

 and with great Difficulty preferved 

 in this Climate. Thefe mould have 

 very little Water in Winter, but in 

 Summer-time will require frequent 

 Rcfrefhings ; tho 1 at that Seafon it 

 Ihould not be given them in great 

 Quantities at one time. The fixfh 

 Sort is a very beautiful Tree. The 

 fevenrh fheds its Leaves juft before 

 the new cnes come on ; fo that it 

 is naked of Leaves about a Month 

 or fix Weeks in the Spring of the 

 Year ; which has occafloned fome
