attention, the wood may be brought to a tolerable degree of 
perfedion even after this feafon. 
In places where a Hot-houfe, or Vine-wall and border, have 
been previoufly provided, and are in readinefs for the plants, 
it would be advifable to plant the Vines out for good, about 
the end of June, or beginning of July, as they will make a 
good progrefs after this feafon in the fame year. But in new 
works, it is almoft impoffible to get the building and border 
ready to receive the plants the f rd: fummer, as the border will 
require a competent time to be worked over, to meliorate, and 
to fettle, therefore my diredlions Vv^ill, principally, relate to 
fuch plants as are kept in pots through the firft winter. I the 
more ftrongly recommend this mode of prafllce on another ac- 
count, which is, that as fo much depends on the prefervation 
of the firft roots, the plants can be better preferved in pots, 
which may be fct in a green-houfe, &c. in the winter, than 
when planted in the open ground, where they will be expofed 
to the feverity of the weather. 
In the months of July and Augufl; the young plants will 
-require very little artificial heat. I have fometimes placed them 
a<Tainfi; a common wall during thofe months, and have found 
the plants fucceed very well. They will, however, by the af- 
fidance of a bottom heat, grow fader ; and by being kept in a 
Hot-houfe, they will make dill a greater progrefs. I have 
fometimes had plants which have made dioots upwards of
