 longft flowering Shrubs in Quar- 

 H; where, if they are regularly 

 lined up to Poles, they will flower 

 tremely well, and have a very 

 >od EfFett in diverfifying fuchPlan-

 g of thefe Plants is in the Spring, 

 :er the cold Weather is part ; for 



they are prun d very early, and 

 ftiouid happen to be frofty Weather 

 tenvard, it would endanger moll 



the young Branches : therefore it 



much the better Way to let the 

 hole Plant remain untouched, fuf- 

 nng the rude Part to hang down 

 :fore the Stem and Branches, du- 

 lg the Winter-feafon, which will

•at Michaelmas you lay a little 

 ung, or other Mulch, about a

 round near the Stems, it will ef- 

 ttually guard their Roots from 

 oft ; which Method mould-be con- 

 mtly praftis'd with iuch as are 

 anted in open Quarters. TheMan- 

 t of Pruning is nothing more than 



cut off all the fmall weak Shoots, 

 id fhorten the ftrong ones to abojc 

 ree Feet in Length : or, if the Build- 

 g is high, againft which they are 

 anted, they may be left much 

 nger, tho* you mould be careful 

 it to leave them too long ; for as 

 ey are vigorous growing Plants, 

 ey will loon get above the Buiid- 

 g, and become tro'ibldome. Thofe 

 at are planted in Quarters, and 

 ained to Stakes, muft be cut Ihorter, 



order to have the Flowers nearer 

 le Ground ; thefe, when their Sea-

 ive a little Mulch laid about their 

 oots ; and then their Stakes may

 ranches to lie upon the Ground, 

 hich will alfo be of Service to pro-

tedl the Plants from the Injuries of 

 the Winter ; and in the Beginning 

 of April they may be trimmed, and 

 flaked up again: and when the 

 Plants begin to moot, they mould 

 conllantly be kept trained up to the 

 Stakes, whereby they will not only 

 appear handfome, but the Place will 

 be clearer to work in, as alfo to pafs 

 through. 



The fruit-bearing Kind may alfo 

 be propagated, by fowing of the 

 Seeds in the Spring of the Year, in 

 Pots filled with light rich Earth, 

 which fnould be plunged into a mo- 

 derate Hot-bed, to facilitate th« 

 Growth of the Seeds; and when the 

 Plants are come up, you muft harden 

 them by degrees to bear the open 

 Air : in thefe Pots they mould re- 

 main until the fucceeding Spring, ob- 

 ferving to (helter them in Winter un- 

 der a Frame, or clfe place the Pots 

 into the Earth under a warm Wall, 

 to prevent their Roots from freezing 

 through the Pots j and the Begin- 

 ning of April you may make them 

 out of the Pots, and divide the Plants 

 from each other, planting them in 

 the Places where they are defigned 

 to remain ; or, if you have not the 

 Ground ready, they may be put 

 each into a feparate Pot ; fo that they 

 may at any time be turned out into 

 the Ground, without difturbing their 

 Roots ; for they are difficult Plants 

 to remove when old. 



Thefe Plants may alfo be planted 

 to cover Arbours or Seats in warm- 

 fttuated Place?,where they will flower 

 extremely well, and anfwer thePur- 

 pofes of thofe Arbours, as well as 

 any other Plants which are at prefent 

 made ufe of. 



The fourth Sort is fomewhat ten- 

 derer than any of the former : this 

 dies to the Surface every Winter, and 

 rifes again the fucceeding Spring ;
