before you bring them out, to prevent DHafters; and when
there is a fine Seaibn in Offober, you may keep them out
of their Prilbn lbme days longer. You then bring your
Orange-Trees near the Green-Houfe, for the putting them
more readily into it, upon the firft cold Weather. In wet
Years, you may bring your Orange-Trees out more early
than in dry and windy Sealbns, as in Gardens that lie low
and marfhy, it ihould be later before they are brought out,
than in thole that are upon higher Ground, where the Wind
diffipates the Froft: All thefe things muft be left to the Dis-
cretion of the Gardeners.
You Ihould ever obferve to houfe and bring out your
Orange-Trees in fair Weather, and as loon as they are let
in the Green-Houfe, you fliould not fhut up the Doors and
Windows, but leave them open till the firft Frofts come on,
that the Orange-Trees taken out of the open Air, may not
be ftifled at once; and in taking them out of the Houfe,
they fhould be ufed to the Air by little and little, by open-
ing the Windows and Doors in the beginning of April> for
without this, fo iudden a Change may do them a great deal
of hurt.
Orange-Trees of a finall Size may be carried upon Their carry-
Hand-Barrows or Sledges, or two Men may carry them eafily mz- .

veral Parts of the Green-Houfe, elpecially againft the Doors
and Windows: you may put lbme of them alio upon the
