Of raising Annuals for funnsliing the Green- House 

 in Summer. 

 The greater part of the plants being set out in 

 May or June, it is necessary to provide furniture 

 for the Green-house in the summer months. Such 

 generally consists of exotic annuals, as Balsams, 

 Cockscombs, Globe and Pyramidal Amaranthus, 

 &c. ; which should be sown in pots, pans, or boxes, 

 filled with fine light earth, and should be placed in 

 a cucumber or melon frame, or in a slight hot-bed 

 made on purpose, about the middle or latter end of 

 the month. The seeds should be sown moderately 

 thick, should be covered lightly, and sliould be 

 duly attended to with respect to watering and air- 

 ing; and the plants, when fit, should be pricked 

 singly into pots of three inches diameter, filled with 

 rich light earth, afterwards to be shifted into lar- 

 ger pots, as will be further noticed in the succeed- 

 ing months. 



Two or three weeks after these seeds have been 

 sown, a few more for a succession should be sown ; 

 particularly of balsams, which do not continue so long 

 in flower as the others. As they should be treated 

 in all respects as above, and afterwards to be noti- 

 ced on this head, it will be unnecessary to say more 

 of them.
