The fecond Sort is much more 

 common in xhtEngHJh Gardens than 

 any of the other; becaufe the Nuts 

 of the Piftachia-tree are annually 

 brought to England for the Table ; 

 and thefe, being planted, will grow 

 very well ; fo that many of thefe 

 Trees have been lately rais'd mEng- 

 land\ whereas the Seeds of the other 

 Sorts are rarely brought over. 



The fix Sorts firft-mention'd are 

 Natives of the Iflands in the Archi- 

 pelago, and fome other Places in the 

 Eaft ; from whence their Seeds have 

 been brought into Europe, where the 

 Plants have been preferv'd by fome 

 curious Perfons. 



The Seeds (or Nuts) of all thefe 

 Trees fhould be fown in Pots filPd 

 with frefii light Earth, and plung'd 

 into a moderate Hot-bed ; obferv- 

 ing to refrefh the Earth with Water 

 frequently* as it may have Occafion; 

 and when the Plants are come up 

 (which thofe of the Piftachia will do 



in fix Weeks after fowing ), the? 

 fhould be enured to bear the open 

 Air by degrees, into which they muft 

 be removed the Beginning of June, 

 placing them where they may be 

 fcreen'd from the Violence of the 

 Winds ; in which Situation they 

 may remain until Oclober, when they 

 mould be remov'd either into a com- 

 mon Hot-bed-frame, or elfe into a 

 Green- houfe, where they may be 

 defended from hard Froft j but 

 fhould have as much free Air as pof- 

 fible in mild Weather, and muft be 

 frequently refreftVd with Water. 



In March following thefe Plants 

 fhould be remov'd, and each planted 

 in a feparate Pot fill'd with frefh 

 light Earth ; and as the Spring ad- 

 vances, they fhould be again re- 

 moved into the open Air, and plac'd 

 amongft other Exotic Plants, obferv- 

 ing to water them frequently in dry- 

 Weather ; and when their Roots are 

 confin'd by the Smalnefs of the Pots, 

 they muft be fhifted, being careful 

 not to break the Earth off from their 

 Roots ; which will greatly injure 

 them, unlefs it be done before the 

 Plants begin to fhoot in the Spring ; 

 for at that Seafon they maybe tranf- 

 planted with as much Safety as any 

 other deciduous Trees. 



In this manner thefe Plants fhould 

 be treated for three or four Years, 

 while young ; after which time the 

 Piftachia's may be planted into the 

 full Ground ; obferving to place 

 them in a warm Situation, and dry- 

 Soil, where they will endure the 

 Cold of our ordinary Winters very 

 well ; as may be leen by a very 

 large Tree of this Kind, now grow- 

 ing in the Gardens of the Earl of 

 Peterborough at Parfcnsgreen, near 

 Fulham, which produces abundance 

 of Fruit, without any manner of 

 Care : but thefe Fruit do not ripen 

 in Er gland, Thefe are Male and 

 Female
