may be added others, according to fancy. If plant- 

 ed into niusery beds about the beginning of the 

 month, in a favourable situation, many of tliem 

 woukl be fit for transplanting about the end of 

 September or first of October, and in that case would 

 be well rooted before winter. Others, if not fit, 

 might be delayed till February or March. 



Of saving Flo'wer-seeds. 

 Those curious about saving flower-seeds, must 

 now attend to them. Many kinds will begin to ripen 

 apace, and should be carefully sticked and support- 

 ed, to prevent them from being shaken by high 

 winds, and so partly lost. Others should be de- 

 fended from much wet, such as Asters, Marigolds, 

 and generally tlwse of the class Syngenesia ; as^ 

 from the construction ef their flowers, they are apt 

 to rot, and the seeds to moidd, in bad seasons. 

 Whenever they are thought ripe, or indeed any 

 others, in wet v\'eather, they should be removed to 

 an airy shed or loft ; gradually dried, and rubbed 

 or beat out at conveniency. 



Of cleaning tlie Ground mid Wallcs, &;c. 

 Continue to destroy weeds whenever they ap- 

 pear, and to dress off the borders, walks, edgings, 

 &c. whether of gravel or of grass, as already often 

 directed, in a neat and handsome manner. A gar- 

 den "dcell kept is easily kept. If weeds once get the 

 upper hand, it is no trivial matter to subdue them. 

 This object, therefore, should never be lost sight of 

 for a moment.
