cd, they may be fent over to Eng- 

 land, with Directions given to the 

 Perlons to whofe Care they are in- 

 truded, not to let them have too 

 much Water (efpeciaUy when they 

 come into a cool Climate) ; becauie 

 Moifture then will be very prejudi- 

 cial to them. They mull alfo be 

 carefully guarded againll the Salt- 

 water, which will infallibly deftroy 

 them, if it be fuffered to come to 

 them. When the Plants arrive in 

 England, they mould be cireiully 

 taken out of the Boxes, and each 

 planted into a feparate final 1 Pot fill- 

 ed with frefli light Earth, and then 

 plunged into a moderate Hot-bed 

 of Tanners Bark ; obferving to lhade 

 them from the Sun at nrft, until 

 they have taken Root; after which 

 time they fhould have frelh Air ad- 

 mitted to them, in proportion to the 

 Warmih of the Seafon ; but in Win- 

 ter -they mud be keDt pretty warm, 

 othenvife they will not live in this 

 Country 



Tne furefi: Method to make thefe 

 Plants thrive in England is, to plunge 

 the Pots in o the Bark in the Stove, 

 and to fufFer the Branches of the 

 creeping Kind.- to trail on the Sur- 

 face of the Bed; where they will 

 itrike Roots into the Tan, and will 

 thrive exceedingly. TCheJfe Plants 

 merit a Place in every Cc'leftion of 

 Plants, for their remarkable Leaves, 

 and the lingular Structure of their 

 Branches ; as alio for the Oddnefs 

 of their Flowers and Fruit, which 

 are, for the moft part, prod-ue'd 

 from the Wings of the Leaves.
