.leaves placed alternately.” As thele plants do not perfect 
their feeds in this country, they'are with difficulty propa¬ 
gated here. The only method which has yet lucceeded, 
has been by laying down their young flioots; but thele 
are commonly two years before they put out roots fit to 
be feparated from the old plant. In laying thefe down, 
the joint which is laid in the ground fhould be flit upward, 
as is prabtifcd in laying carnations, and the bark of the 
tongue at bottom taken off. The heft time is the begin¬ 
ning of September; and the (hoots mot proper for this 
purpofe, are thole which come out immediately, or very 
near the root, and are of the lame year’s growth, not only 
from their fituation being near the ground, and thereby 
better adapted for laying, but thefe are alio more apt to 
put out roots than any of the upper branches. But, where 
good feeds can be procured, that is the more eligible me¬ 
thod of propagating the plants; for thofe railed from the 
feeds make the ftraighteft plants, and are quicker of growth. 
They ihould be fown in pots filled with light loamy earth, 
as foon as they are received; if it happens in the autumn, 
the pots Ihould be plunged into an old bed of tanner's 
bark, under a frame, where they may remain all the win¬ 
ter, • being careful that thev are fecured from froft, and 
have not much wet. In the fpring, the pots fhould be 
plunged into a hot-bed, which will bring up the plants 
in five or fix weeks. When thefe are fit to remove, they 
Ihould be each planted into a feparate fmall pot, filled with 
the like loamy earth, and plunged into a moderate hot¬ 
bed, oblerving to (hade them until they have taken frefh 
root, as alfo to refrefh them with water, as they may re¬ 
quire it. After this they muft by degrees be inured to 
the open air, into which they fhould be removed in June, 
and placed in a lheltercd fituation, where they may remain 
till autumn, when they mult he removed into the green- 
houfe, and placed where they may enjoy the air and fun ; 
during the winter fcafon, thefe plants muft be lparingly 
watered ; but in fummer, when they are placed abroad, 
they will require to be frequently refreflied, but muft not 
have too much water given them each time. Thefe plants 
make a very pretty variety in the green-houfe in winter, and, 
as they do not require any artificial heat to preferve them, 
they are worthy of a place in every garden where there is 
conveniencv for keeping them.

of the comtes de Bronchorts, lords of Borckeloe, there 
was a great difpute between the biihop of Munfter and 
the comte de Lymburg Styrum. The bifliop aliened that 
Gilbert, comte of Borckeloe, had voluntarily done homage 
for the figniory of Borckeloe, which'now became a vacant 
fief. George comte of Lvmbourg, who had efpoufed In- 
megarde of Bronchorft, the daughter of the laft comte, 
Jofle’s brother, being fupported by the ftates-general, laid 
claim to Borckeloe, as dependant on the duchy of Guel-

an arret of a counlel fitting at Arnhem. In 1665, the
