mould that was thrown in a heap for that 

 purpofe. 



THE large feeds, fuch as Acorns, Chef- 

 nuts, &c. may be taken out of the boxes, 

 and placed on the bed with the hand, at 

 three inches diftance, and covered with the 

 fame mould as the others, two inches thick: 

 they will require no further trouble, but 

 to keep them clear of weeds until they are 

 taken up for planting. As the feeds were 

 prepared, there mould none be fown but 

 what have fprouted, that there may be no 

 vacancies in the beds, if the mice can be 

 kept away. 



As loon as the fmall-feeded plants are 

 come into the third leaf, they muft not 

 be fuffered to ftand nearer to one another 

 than three inches, that they may grow 

 ftrong and ftif, and have a free air in the 

 feed-bed, which is of great utility to them 

 when they change their quarters to a poor 

 cold heath or common.
