Kernel, which would have been quite otherwife had they lain 
ftrair, and fo over the Sulcus. In fine, the Kernel it felf is roll’d 
up in the manner we fee it, not only for the Security of the Se- 
minal Plant, but alfb that it may unfold by more eafy Degrees, 
according as the Lobes and Plume are ready to expand them&ves. 
The firft of thefe Ends accounts likewife for the Neceflity of the 
Procefs, the fecond for that of the Rima or Sulcus, and both of 
them for the Conveniency of a double Lamina in the Kernels. 
But as this unfolding will require Time, the Radicle probably gets 
a very fure Footing in the Ground, before the Seminal Leaves 
reach the Surface of it. 
CHAP. IX. 
The Culture of the Cofee Plant in England. 
H Aving already publifli’d an Account of the Management 
of this Plant in its native Country, Arabia Felix, 1 fliall 
here confine my felf to the Culture of it in the Weftern and 
efpecially in the Northern Parts of Europe, the Diredlions to be 
obferv’d herein being what it principally concerns us to be ac- 
quainted with. Very little has been publifh’d on this Subje(51: 
by any Author except Mr. Bradley, whofe Obfervations I lhall 
give in the fame Order in which they appear’d ^ to thefe I lliall 
fubjoin the few Remarks which have been made by other Bota- 
nifts, and then conclude with a Paper of Inflru^lions communi- 
cated to me by an ingenious Gardiner, Mr. Thomas Km^lton, 
founded entirely on his own Experience. 
In his firft Treatife on Coffee, Mr. Bradley tells us, that ^ the 
^ Coffee Plant having now found its Way into England, it may 
be ncccffary to offer fome proper Directions for its Culture, 
agreeable with the Method obfervable in the Amjlerdam Gar- 
' den. When we fliall have an Opportunity to propagate thefe 
‘ Trees from the Berries, we muff then, immediately after they 
^ are gather’d, carefully take off the outfide Husk, and feparare 
^ the two Seeds which are found in eachj clean them from the 
^ Pulp, and fet them an Inch deep in Pots of fine Earth, which 
‘ are already warm in a Bed prepar’d with Horfe- litter, keeping
