 ntSi at fix inches diftance, every way, and four in 

 depih ; you are to make ufe of a broad dibble, half 

 a foot long. Before you begin to plant, have ready a 

 wheel-barrow full of rich and very fandy mould, filling 

 the pit, into which you are to fet the bulb, with two 

 inches of it, that the" tender fibres of the bulbs may 

 (hoot the more eafily, and gather ftrength to penetrate 

 into the mould below, which is not of fo fine a texture; 

 the pits are to be filled two inches above the bulb, rid- 

 dling all over them two inches more of good garden- 

 mould. Their leaves and flower-buds will appear early 

 in the fpring, and, except keeping them clear from 

 weeds, will require no further care until the No'uember 

 following, when I would advife another coat of good 

 garden-mould to be laid upon them, and in the fpring 

 to drefs the beds, and clear them from weeds with your 

 hands, which will be much fafer for their fpringing buds, 

 than to ufe the hoe or any other inftrument whatever. 

 Of the reft of the Daffodillsy or Pfeudo-Narcijfufes, 

 the beft kinds are:

Thofe four forts fhould be planted in clumps with o- 



ther flowers, which blofibm about the fame feafon, viz. 



in March and April; and their culture being the fame 



with thofe juft mentioned, it need not be added here; 



but I would advife that none of their kinds be lifted 



fooncr than once in three years. 



As for the Oriental Polyanthus Narcijfus, I fliall treat 



fully of them in another place.
