SECTION XX. 



A CALENDAR. 



THE general work of gardening has been pretty- 

 fully fpoken of, in the parts concerning the for- 

 mation, cultivation, and management of a garden, propa- 

 gation, &c. The particular culture of efculents, herbs, 

 fruits, and flowers, ha* been treated in the fect-ions ap^ 

 propriated to each. It therefore remains to give here 

 little more than fhort hints, by way of alii fling recol-

 ral works of gardening, it is not the fame (exafl.lv) every

 ga-dener, to make it a rule, once a week, to confuler 

 what h to be done the following week ; and to make 

 /memorandums accordingly, numbering them in the 

 aider he would have them performed. — Thus he would 

 never be at a lofs, what to let himf It, or his labourers 

 about, awl the mortification of oniillions, or appear-
