f'hntt, {xysLaurembergiHs, is, that about St. James 

 tyde they be taken out of the ground, and put in a 

 place cold and dry, of a free air, not in the Sun, not 

 covered with Sand or Earth, or acceilible to Mice ; 

 lee them abide fo a Moneth, or thereabouts, then fee 

 them again, when they are taken up, cutoff the Fi- 

 bres that grow from under the head : no: need any 

 thus take them up every year (unlefs it be for the 

 tranfplantation of the oft-fets) by which forbearance, 

 the iiock of Tulips is very much increafed. Terra- 

 rltis more particularly forbids the abiding of Ane- 

 mones in the Earth il the Summer, as being found 

 prejudicial to them by his experience. But Fritel- 

 laries, and Peonies,. in J the Crown Imperial, he will 

 not have removed from their t : eds, unlefs into a 

 Cellar, in a pot of Earth. 



Nor are all taken at the fiftie time, as he fecms to 

 intirmte ; for Narciftes and Crocuites are common- 

 ly taken up firft, generally when the floveris gone, 

 the leaf withered, and the Bulb full, it is the beft 

 feafon to take them up ; fome keep them oux of the 

 ground longer, as till Chrism Us, at after ; as this 

 year, being in LorAm, my beft Tulips, Anemones 

 and Ranunculus's, were in the Houfe till the begin- 

 ning of February, and yet did well enough : But com- 

 monly we re-plant them about Niich.ielmafs,or there- 

 abouts: fome great "Flo ills keep them out of the 

 ground no longer than till they grow dry ; fome re- 

 plant them in Jnm, fome in July or Angttfi ; fome 

 take not up their Ranunculus Roo:s at all. Thofe 

 Gardiners, whofe Feds are apt to be over-flowed or 

 foaked with cold water in the Winter, the later they 

 fet, 1 believe their Bulbous and Tuberous Roots will 

 grove the better.
