156 TREATISE ON 



I WOULD likeways advife nurferymen to pot fome of tliefe 

 plants, as dire6led for the Cedar of Libanus, to tranfport to any 

 great diflance ; they are alfo very proper to mix with myrtles, 

 annual flowers, and other potted plants, to adorn the borders of 

 the flower-garden or court. 



Th e Tree, or Swediili Juniper, may be treated in all refpedk. 

 as the red and white Cedars. 



The Bermudas Cedar is more delicate and flower of growth 5, 

 when young, than the forts mentioned; it will therefore be aa 

 improvement to fow their berries in pots, to - keep them in the 

 lhade during the fummer months, and under a frame the follow- 

 ing winter. In the fpring, when the feeds begin to vegetate, 

 plunge the pots into a moderate hot-bed till the month of July, 

 froni whence they will advance more in one feafon, than two in 

 their natux^al ilate, and make better plants,,. 



The fucceeding fpring,. plant each of them in halfpenny pots, 

 and again plunge them in a hot-bed till July, when, in mild 

 weather, they may by degrees be inured to the open air, and. 

 next fpring put into penny pots, where they fhould remain two 

 years, when they ought, once more, either tobefhifted into two- - 

 penny pots, or planted in a well-fheltered place of the, nurfery 

 for three years, by which time they will refift our feverefl winters 

 very welL Though this procefs m_ay to fome appear trouble- 

 fome, it is only fo in. a very trifling degree to a good g3.rdener, 

 who has proper conveniencies for executing his bufinefs ; and,, 

 the Bermudas Cedar, being a plant of great beauty and elegance,, 

 is well worth bellowing a little extraordinary £ains in bringing ■ 

 it foon to perfedion,.
