Show co co rooted Plants than Suckers, and will greatly out-growthem, efpecially while young. _ The fecond and third Sorts are planted in Hedge-rows, in moift fhady Places in Gardens: but the Fruit is muchbetter, and in greater Quantities, when they have an open, free Air, and are not fuffer’d either to grow too thick, or be over-hung or crowded with other Trees. The fourth and fifth Sorts, viz. the Red and White Filberts, are moftly efteem’d for their Fruit, being much {weeter, and their Shells much tenderer, The fixth Sort is annually brought from Spain in great Plenty, and fold in Londowall the Winter-feafon ; from which Nuts there have been many Trees rais’d in the Engli/y irregular ‘and diffus’d ; but when it flowers (which it feldom doth until it is pretty ftrong) it maketh a beautiful Figure, the Flowers Gardens ; growing, as it were, on large Plumes ofHair, but I have not yet feen whether they prove the fame with the Nuts fown. All thefe Sorts may be propagated by fowing their Nuts in February ; which, in order to preferve them good, fhould be kept in Sand in a moift Cellar, where the Vermin can’t come at them to deftroy them: Nor fhould he external Air be excluded from ’em, which would occafion their growing mouldy. ‘The Mannerof fowing the Seeds being well Known to every one, I need not here mention it, efpeciallyfince it is not the fureft Way to obtain the Sorts defired; for they feldom prove in Form of a Rote; ne the top ¢ flen Branches.

The Soil in which thefe Plants thrive beft, is one Third frefh light Earth from a Pafture, one Third Sand, and the other third Part Lime Rubbifh, and rotten Tan, in equal Quantities: Thefe fhould be well mix’d, and laid ina Heap fix or eight Months before it is usd, turning it over five orfix times, that the Parts may the better incorporate; and before it is usd, it will be proper to pafs it through a Screen, to feparate the large Stones and ods, &c. therefrom. Having prepar’d the Earth, and your Cut- tings being in a fit Order for Planting, you mutt fill as many half-penny Pots with Earth as you have Cuttings to plant; then put one Cutting in the middle of each Pot about two Inches deep or more, Strength ; according to their then give them little Water to fettle the Earth clofe about them, and fet the Pots in a warm fhadyPlace for about a Week, to prepare the Cuttings for putting forth Roots; after which they fhould be plung’d into a moderate Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, which wil] greatlyfacilitate their rooting ; but bferve to give them Air, byraifing the slaffes at ail times when the Weather will as alfo to fhade the Glaffes in the Heat Day. _ in about a Month’s Time after planting, tnele Cuttings will be rooted, when you mutt to keep their Veflels diftended, theyar e render'd incapable of difcharging this Moifture whenever theyreceive it again, Thefe Plants are all of them pretty hardy, except the fixth Sort, which muft have Stove, and may be prefery’d without a any artificial Heat in the Winter. The beft Method to treat thefe Plants is, to place them an openairy dry Gla{s-Frame among Ficoidesin ’s and African Houfeleeks, where they mayenjoy as much of the Sun-fhine as poffi ble, and have a free dry open Air ; for if thefe are plac’d in a common Green-houfe amongft fhrubby Plants, which per{pire freely, it will fll the Houfe with a damp Air which thefe fucéule nt Plants are apt to imbibe, and thereby becom- ing too replete with Moifture, do often caft their Leaves, and many times their Branche s alfo decay, and the whole Plant perifhes. The fifth Sort, as was before mention’d, muft be prefery’d in a moderate Stove, with Aloes, Cereus’s, &c. which may be kept up to the temperate Heat as mark’d on Mr. Fowler's Thermometers: This muft have very little Water in Winter, and be planted in a very dry fandy Soil. The fourth Sort produces the moft beautiful Flowers of any of them, and deferves a Place in every good Collection of Plants; as doth the fecond, third, fifth and fixth, for the regu- lar Beauty of their Stems, and large, fair, thick fucculent Leaves ; and the fecond, third, and fixth Sorts produce very fair, handfome Bunches of Flowers, but they feldom produce Seeds in England.
