HOLLY Berries are ufually gathered at the fame time with 

 Haws, early in autumn, foon after turniiig red, but they 

 are by no means ripe at this time, and fhould hang on the trees 

 till December at fooneft ; or, were it not for the birds, who 

 greedily devour them, I would not advife pulling them till Fe- 

 bruary or March, during which time they will improve in ma- 

 turity. 



The common method of raifing thefe plants, is by fowing 

 their berries whole, either as foon as they come from the trees, 

 or the following fpring ; but this is a very ill practice. 



These berries contain four feeds in each, from whence, by 

 fowing them whole, if the feeds were good, there muft necelTa- 

 rily be four plants interwoven in a clufter together ; and it is 

 great odds, if, in dividing them when raifed, two or three of 

 the four are not torn afimder, and the remainder much injured,
