The fifteenth and fixtenth Sorts 

 rarely produce good Seeds in Eu- 

 rope-, but they may be eafily propa- 

 gated by Cuttings cr Slips, which 

 ihould be planted in Pots filled with 

 light frefii Earth, and plunged into 

 a very moderate Hot-bed, obferv- 

 jng to water and made them until 

 they I ave taken Root; after which 

 time they mould be inured to bear 

 the "•nen Air by degrees ; then they 

 ihould be taken out, and placed 

 where they may have the morning 

 Sun, and flickered from the ftrong 

 Winds- : in which Situation they 

 ihould remain till O Sober, when 

 they fhould be removed into the 

 Green -houfe, and placed where they 

 may enjoy as m sch free Air as pof- 

 fjble in mild Weather, and mult be 

 frequently refremed with Water; 

 but they mult be fecured from Froft, 

 otherwife they will be deftroyed.
