In planting the above, or any other forts, oblerve to 

 difpofe them regularly, and intermix the different kinds 

 in fuch order as the.e may be a variety of colours, as well 

 as a regular fucce£icn of flowers in every part during the 

 flowering feafon. 



Drefs the Aioiciila Plants. 



Now drefs the auricula plants in pots, and add fome- 

 frefli earth to them, provided it was not done the latter 

 end of January. But this is now a very proper feafon. 

 for performing this neccffary work; obferving the fame 

 method as direded lail month, and the fooner it is now. 

 done the better. 



The choice kinds of auriculas in pots mufl: no.v be 

 tre.:ted with more than ordinary care, for their flaver- 

 buds will foon begin to appear ; therefcre, the plants 

 (hould be defended from frolt and cold heavy rains. 



This mufl: be done by a covering of mats, canva', or 

 gLafs ; but every mild and dry day the plants mull be en- 

 tirely uncovered. 



So^w Auricula and Polyanthus Seed, 



Auricula and polyanthus feed may be fown any tim? in- 

 this month; they will gro^v freely, and the plants from 

 this fowiitg will rife well. Thefe feeds may be fown in 

 a warm fpot in the common ground, or in boxes or pots 

 filled with light rich earth ; but the pots or boxes are of- 

 ten preferred, becaufe they can be readily removed to 

 different fituations, as the feafon may require. 



Thefe feeds mufl: be fown tolerable thick, and covered 

 with light earth, and about a t^^uarter of an inch deep.
