EGETABLE SYSTEM 
Moft of thefe fpecies of Andromeda, are fmall, ftirub- 
by plants; the tree Andromeda is confiderably large ft; 
but of the others, the greater part are creeping-rooted 
plants, fending up feveral fuckers; and in all the fpe¬ 
cies the branches are clofely garni(hed with their fmall 
leaves; the flowers are alfo fmall, greenilh, growing 
in fpikes and clufters, at the fides and ends of the 
branches; appearing principally in June and July ; the 
plants are moftly hardy, to grow in any common foil 
and fituation, though, are moft fuccefsful in mioft 
ground, as they are naturally inhabitants of fuch fitu- 
ations: but the Andromeda arborea, a native of 
warmer countries than the others, is rather more ten¬ 
der, and fhould generally have a warmer fituation, and 
fometimes be Iheltered from fevere frofts; or of which 
fort may alfo be kept a plant or two, in pots, to place 
under {helter in winter. 
All the forts may be employed, to diverfify the 
{hrubbery compartments, moftly towards the front 
part, in aflemblage with other low, Ihrubby kinds, of 
fimilar growth; they are all cultivated in the nurferies, 
for fale, where they may be obtained for planting; 
which perform in autumn or fprir.g; and are propagated 
by fuckers from the roots, layers of the young branch¬ 
es, and by feed; all generally in the fpring. 
•Topropagateorraifethefe {hrubs, may fow the feed in 
the fpring, in a bed of lightifh, moift earth, half an inch 
deep; and when the plants are one or two years t>ld, 
tranfplant them into a nurfery, &c. or by fuckers from 
the root, moft of the forts may be more expeditioufly 
raifed, and which may be tranfplanted in autumn or 
fpring, with roots to each, either into a nurfery, or 
at once where they are to remain; and may alio be 
raifed by layers of the lower, young branches, in the 
fpring, &c. aforefaid. 
In ftirubberies, &c. they may be planted in autumn 
or fpring, or any time in mild weather, from October 
to March or April, and in which they do not require 
any particular culture, only to detach encreafed fuckers 
occafionally, and to prune any draggling {hoots, &c. 
of the heads.
