Seafon; but the fucculent Kinds fhould be planted in Pots fill’d with light {andy frefh Earth, and fhouldbe plung’d into a moderate Hot-bed,to facilitate their taking Root; and thefe fhould have but little Moifture, efpecially before they are rooted, for much Wet will certainly deftroy them. When the Plants have taken Root, which will be in about a Month’s Time, youfhould expofe them to the open Air gradually : Thofe which were planted in Pots, may be drawn out of the Hot-bed at firft, and removy’d into a Giafs Stove, where they maybe inur’d by degrees to bear the Weather: But thofe planted upon the old Hot-bed mayremain unremov’d until Augujt, when they fhould be carefully taken up, and planted into Pots fill?'d with light freth fandy Earth, andfet in a Situation where they may enjoy the Morning.Sun only, until they have taken frefh Root, when they may be expos’d tothe openAir until the latter End ofSeptember or the Beginning of Oéober 5 at which time they muft be remov’d into the Confervatory, which fhould be a light airy Glafs-cafe, fo built and contriv’d as to admit of a large Portion of free Air whenever the Weather is mild; but in hard frofty Weather, the Cold may be excluded. The Structure of this will be defin’d under the Article Stove, to whichI fhall refer the Reader. During the Winter-feafon you muft carefully obferve to open the GI] y Day when the Weather is mild; for if you keep themclofely fhut up, the Plantswill growfickly, ard |
