ON THE MANAGEMENT 
They fliould not ftand too deep in the pot, as the eye below 
the fuiface of the mould might receive a material injury during 
the courfe of the winter, and thereby be rendered unfit for the 
intended purpofe. 
Ten or twelve cuttings may be put into each pot, but they 
mufi not fiiand too near together, as in that cafe they would be. 
liable to grow mouldy. 
When various kinds are intended to be propagated, each fort 
fhould be kept in a feparate pot, with a label affixed to denote 
the fpecies. 
During the winter, keep the pots in a ffieltered fituation, and 
by all means let them be protected from the feverity of the fea- 
fon. However, in fine mild weather, though it be in the win- 
ter time, the cuttings will be benefited by being permitted to 
(land awhile in the open air. This expofure will fwell, and 
give a boldnefs to the bud, and alfo keep the wood freffi and 
continue its vigor ; but great care, neverthelefs, mufi: be taken 
to carry the pots into ffielter on the leafi; approach of frod. 
The principal care required during the winter feafon is, to^ 
keep the mould in a proper degree of moifture, in order to 
give the cuttings as much free air as poffible j but at the fame 
time to protect them from frofl. The putting the cuttings in 
pots>.
