ON THE MANAGEMENT 
and let the glalTes be fliut down clofe in the nights after water- 
ing : This will caufe a moiilure to be raifed in the bed, whicli 
the plants will imbibe to their great benefit. 
As the plants increafe in fize, conflant waterings fhould be 
given, and a greater quantity of air admitted in proportion to 
their progrefs : By the time they get to be fix or eight inches 
high, they will require to be fhifted into pots of a larger fize. 
Great care, however, fliould be taken in the performance of 
this operation, neither to injure the top nor roots of the plant.^ 
The plant fhould be turned out of the pot with the roots and 
ball entire, and the pot fliould be fufficiently large to admit 
of a proper quantity of frefh earth on this flrifting. I generally 
put the plants into pots of feven inches diameter, by fix deep, 
(infide meafure.) If the heat of the bed begins to abate, it 
fhould be renewed with a little frefh ftable-yard dung, and the 
frames fhould be raifed to a proper height, in proportion to the 
progrefs of the plants. 
In replacing the plants in the bed, regard fliould be had to 
fetting them in the fame pofition they were in before, for the 
reafon already given. 
Small flicks fhould be provided to fupport the fhoots when 
they are grown to the length of ten or twelve inches. Pinch 
off the wires or tendrils, and alfo the lateral fhoots, as fafl as 
they.
