be very often water'd, and alfo to be 

 plac'd in the Shade, other wife they 

 will be liable to droop for a confider- 

 able time : and that being the Sea- 

 fon when thefe Plants mould be 

 plac'd amongft other Exotics to 

 adorn the feveral Parts of the Gar- 

 en, thefe Plants, being then remov'd, 

 fhould not beexpos'd until they have 

 taken Root again ; which at that 

 time (if the Seafon be hot and dry) 

 will be three Weeks, or a Month. 



In October, when the Nights be- 

 gin to be frofty, you mould remove 

 the Plants into the Green-houfe; but 

 if the Weather proves favourable in 

 i Autumn (as it often happens), they 

 i may remain abroad until the Begin- 

 : ning of November ; for if they are 

 carry'd into the Green-houfe too 

 : foon, and the Autumn mould prove 

 warm, they will make frefh Shoots 

 at that Seafon ; which will be weak, 

 and often grow mouldy in Winter, 

 if the Weather mould be fo fevere 

 as to require the Windows to be 

 kept clofely ftiut, whereby they will 

 be greatly defae'd ; for which Rea- 

 ibn tney fhould always be kept as 

 long abroad as the Seafon will per- 

 mit, and remov'd out again in the 

 Spring before they moot out ; and 

 during the Winter-feaibn that they 

 are in the Green houfe they Ihould 

 have as much free Air as pollible 

 when the Weather is mild. 



The two firft-mention'd Sorts I 

 have feen planted abroad in warm 

 Situations, and upon a dry Soil; where 

 they have endured the Cold of our 

 Winters for feveral Years very well, 

 with only being cover'd in very hard 

 Frofts with two or three Mats, and 

 :he Surface of the Ground about 

 heir Roots cover'd with a little 

 Vlulch to prevent the Froft from 

 mtering the Ground: but in Corn-

Winters are more favourable than 

 in moil other Parts of England, there 

 are large Hedges of Myrtle which 

 have been planted feveral Years, and 

 are very thriving and vigorous, fome 

 of w hich are upward of fix Feet high; 

 and I believe, if the double flower- 

 ing Kind was planted abroad, it 

 would endure the Cold as well as 

 any of the other Sorts, it being a 

 Native of the Southern Part3 of 

 France. This, and the orange- lea v'd 

 Kind, are the moil difficult to take 

 Root from Cuttings ; but if they are 

 planted toward the Latter -end of 

 July, making choice of only fuch. 

 Shoots as are tender, and the Pot? 

 plung'd into an old Bed of Tanners 

 Bark, which has loft moft of its Heat, 

 and the Glafles fhaded every Day, 

 they will take Root extremely well, 

 as I have more than once experien- 

 ced. The orange- leav'd Sort, and 

 thofe with variegated Leaves, are 

 fomewhat tenderer than the ordinary- 

 Sorts, and fhould be hous'd a little 

 fooner in Autumn, and plac'd far- 

 ther from the Windows of the Green- 

 houfe.
