are propagated by planting Cuttings 

 of them, in any of the Summer- 

 months, in a Bed of light Earth, ob- 

 ferving to made and water them un- 

 til they have taken Root; and in 

 Auguft they mould be tranfplanted 

 into Pots filled with freih light Earth, 

 ivhich mould be placed in a fhady 

 Situation until the Plants are rooted 

 in the Pots ; when they may be re- 

 moved into the open Air amongft 

 Myrtles, Jafmines, &c. where they 

 may remain until Ottoler ; at which 

 time they mould be removed into 

 the Green-houfe, where they mould 

 be placed fo as to have as much free 

 Air as polTible, and will require fre- 

 quent Waterings.
