 The other frame. Fig. 2. is for the reception of the 

 pots, except when they are on" the blowing ftagc, the 

 pipped circles fhow how they are to iland by each o- 

 ther. Its height from the ground, is to be no more, 

 than that which is given it by a Dutch tile, as tiie fitii- 

 ation of the frame muft be very near the earth, in or- 

 der to keep the compoft in the pots moilT:. As .ioon 

 as iis necefl'ary to tirade the plant, whether from the 

 inclemencv of the weather, the fun's rays, wind or rain, 

 the frame with the pots is to be covered with the other, 

 which for the piirpofe of protection is to have a cover- 

 ing of painted cloths, with rollers at each end, which 

 are to be laid over the frames, entirely covering the fides, 

 but leaving the ends open. Thefe rollers not only keep 

 the cloths down, but are of ufe.in taking them up, when 

 they are to be removed. 



Mr. Bulleit formerly of Tenihincht in the co. of Dub- 

 lin, being remarkable for his knowledge in flowers, we 

 fiiall introduce here, his method of raifinc and cultivat- 

 ing the Auricuhy as communicated by Mr. BtiUen o{ 

 isevo-flreet. u; 



He recommends three different forts of compofls for 

 the purpo'.e, which are, firft, to one bufhei of fea land, 

 one of fandy loam, and ten of well rotted cow dung.. 

 The fecond,' to half a buihel of fea fand, add one of 

 loamy foil, and one of Melon earth. The laft, is a 

 mixture of cow and horfe-dung, with one part fea fand, 

 and one of fandy loam; the dung to be two or three 

 vears old, to be well and equally mixed together, and 

 turned for two months, keeping it clear of weeds. 



iV. E, All tnixed foils or compoffs, fhould lie fome 

 time for their parts to incorporate with one another, be- 

 fore they are ufed. 



Mr. Euller'% direftions being laid down in the kaler- 

 uar way, we fhall keep to it.
