The fecctfd (owing mould take place on a little hea>, 

 when the firft plants are pricked out; and let this Tow- 

 ing be prefently thinned to an inch afunder; prick the 

 plants out in the full ground, (or on a moderate hot- 

 bed, if you wiih to forward them) at fix inches a'.under. 

 Here they may grow till either put out with eight 

 leaves, or ftand till their Jtower buds appear, which fhew 

 plainly whether they will be double or fingie; the 

 double having full round buds, and the fingie long then 

 ones. But if every other is drawn with eight leaves, 

 the reft will do *the better, and may be taken up with 

 large bails of earth; concerning the method ot doing 

 which, fee page 279. Or, every other being taken up 

 from the bed, trie reft may remain to make a grand fhew 

 in flower. All the (ingle ones not wanted for Jeed y 

 fhould be pulled, or cut up; then thofe left for the 

 purpofe will more certainly produce good feed, i. e* 

 apt to come double. 



The third fowing is to be upon cold ground, in a 

 warm border, or rather under a hand-glafs, the begin- 

 ning of May. Let the plants be thinned in time, lb as 

 not to draw one another up weak, and pricked out at 

 four inches, as foon as may be, as to ihowery weather, 

 for flocks will fafely tranfplant very young; and when 

 they have eight leaves, let them be planted where they 

 are to blow. It is a good way (in lurnifhing borders) 

 to plant three or four ftocks together, at four or five 

 inches from one another, and thoJe that prove fingie, 

 may be cut out as foon as difcoverecL 



The foitrth lowing is defigncd for plants to be pre-- 

 ferved through the winter for zfpring blow, and Ihould 

 be made either the laft week in July, or before the 

 middle of Augujl. Plant fome clofe under a fouth 

 wall, and pot others for houfmg in (only) kxeie 

 wether. it two or three plants are put in a pot,, the 

 fingie may be cut away from the double. as loon as 

 difcovered. 



The French ftock is very floriferous, and moft apt 

 to come double. The P ruffian is fometimss called the
