Tn about fix or eight Weeks after 

 fbwing, the Plants will appear above- 

 ground ; at which time it will be ne- 

 ceffary to remove the Pots into an- 

 other frefh Hot-bed, of a moderate 

 Temperature, in order to bring the 

 Plants forward ; you mull alio be 

 careful to water them as often as is 

 necefTary ; and in the great Heat of 

 the Day the Glaifes mould be tilted 

 pretty high, and fhaded with Mats, 

 to prevent the Plants from being 

 fcorch'd with Heat : about the mid- 

 dle of May you fhould begin to har- 

 den them to the open Air, by take- 

 ing off the Glafles when the Wea- 

 ther is warm ; but this mull be done 

 cautioufly ; for you fhould not ex- 

 pofe them to tnc open Sun in a very 

 hot Day at firft, which would great- 

 ly injure them ; but rather take off 

 the Glaffes in warm cloudy Weather 

 at firit, or in gentle Showers of Rain, 

 and fo by degrees inure them to bear 

 the Sun; and in June you fhould 

 take the Pots out of the Hot- bed, 

 and carry them to fome well-lhelter- 

 ed Situation, where they may re- 

 main until the Beginning of Otfobef, 

 at which time theymuit be carried in- 

 to theGreen-houfe,obfer\ ing to place 

 them where they may enjoy as much 

 free Air as poinble when the Win- 

 dows are opened ; as a!fo to be clear 

 from the Branches of other Plants. 



During the Winter feafon they 

 will require to be often watered ; 

 but you mult be carelul not to give 

 them too much at each timfe ; and in 

 Jsfarcb you mult remove thefe Plants 

 each into a feparate Pot, being care- 

 ful not to take the Earth from their 

 Roots ; and if at this time you plunge 

 them into a frefli moderate Hot- bed, 

 \l will greatly facilitate their Root- 

 ing again, and be of great Service to 

 the Plants; but: when you perceive 

 (hey are ireln rooted, you mull give 



J A 



them a great deal of Air ; for if you 

 draw them too much, they will be- 

 come weak in their Stems, and in- 

 capable to fupport their Heads ; 

 which is a great Defect in thefe 

 Trees. 



You mull alfo harden them to the 

 open Air, into which they mould 

 be removed about the Middle of 

 May, obferving, a.-, was before di- 

 rected, to place them in a Situation 

 that is defended from ffrong Winds, 

 which are injurious to thele Plants, 

 efpecially while they are young. In 

 Winter, houfe them, as before, and 

 continue the fame Care ; with which 

 they will thrive very faff, and pro- 

 duce annually great Quantities of 

 Flowers. 



Thefe Plants are pretty hardy, 

 and will require no other Care in 

 Winter, than only to defend them 

 from hard Froits ; nor do I know 

 whether they would not live in the 

 open Air, if planted againff a warm 

 Wall, which is what fhould be tried 

 by planting fome againff a Wall for 

 that Purpoie ; and I think we have 

 little Reafon to doubt of the Succefs, 

 fince they are much hardier than the 

 Spanijb: but there is this Difference 

 between them;<i//2;. thefe Plants have 

 large, thick, ever-green Leaves, fo 

 thac if they were covered with Mats, 

 as was directed for the Spanijh Jaf* 

 mine, the Leaves would rot, and de- 

 cay the Shoots ; but as thefe will 

 only require to be covered in extreme 

 Froff, fo, if their Roots are well 

 mulch'd, and a Mat or two loofeiy 

 hung over them in ordinary Froib, 

 it will be fufficient; and thefe Mats 

 being either rolled up, or taken quite 

 off,- in the Day, there will be no 

 great Danger of their being hurt, 

 which only can proceed from being 

 too long clofe covered. 



In tiie Spring thefe Ihould be 

 pruned,
