comport: mould, of a very rich quality, be added thereto, it 
will facilitate the growth of the plant. Turn the Vine-plant 
very carefully out of the pot, and put the upper part of the 
ftem through one of the holes of the front wall. If the rtioot 
will juft reach the bottom of the rafter, when planted, it will 
be furticient. But as the mould put into the hole, and the 
border itfelf too, may yet fettle a little, an allowance of two or 
three inches ftaould be made for the fettling of the plant alfo. 
Obferve to fet the plant with its proper fide to the fun ; 
then, while one perfon holds the ball in the exadt place in 
which it is defigned to ftand, let another put mould carefully 
under and round every fide thereof. In clofing the mould to 
the ball, care fhould be taken to preferve the roots of the 
plant. The extreme points of the fibres being exceedingly 
brittle, are very fubjedd to be injured unlefs great care be 
taken in the performance of this operation. Raife the mould 
about one inch above the top of the ball, and form the furface 
into a kind of femicircular bafon, in which it will be expedient 
to lay a thin mulrtaing of rotten dung, and to give a gentle 
watering to fettle the whole. Then take off the mofs, paper, 
&c. and let the top of the flioot be carefully faftened to the 
rafter. Thus the bufmefs is compleated. 
To diredd the very identical kinds of Vines to be planted, 
may, perhaps, be deemed an add of ofEcioufnefs, fince every
