15^ The Pleasure, or' [Mar. 



Planting Ro/es. 



-Rofe-trccs of mofl forts may ftill be removed. 



Thofe that are planted any time this month, will pro- 

 duce flowers the farne year ; but the fooner they are plant- 

 ed the better they will take root, and the ftronger they 

 will flower. 



But curious perfons often plant thefe ihrubs late in the 

 feafon, in order to have a late bloom. I have planted 

 them in April and May, and had them flower in Augull 

 and September. 



Planting Edgings for Beds or Borders. 



Plant box-edgings, it will take root foon, and grow free 

 enough, provided you v/ater it a few times. Where there 

 are any gaps in the former planted edgings, let them now 

 be made good ; for ragged and uneven edgings have a dif- 

 agreeable look. 



Thrift, if neatly planted, makes pretty edgings to 

 borders, or flower-beds, and is by fome much efteemed 

 for that purpofe, both for its evergreen prope-i ty, and as 

 a pretty flowering plant in fummer. Plant this, where 

 required, the beginning of the month, by the method 

 direvTted in the former planting months, and water it at 

 times, in dry weather, till it is well rooted. 



Pinks may likewife be planted for edgings ; and to 

 fach perfons as fell the flowers, it makes a very profit- 

 able ecl^ging. 



Double-daifies, London-pride, &c. are alfo fometimes 

 ufed for edgings, as obferved lail month ; but thefe plants 

 too foon fpread out of bounds. 



Piant Hedges: 

 Finidi planting hedges, where intended, as early in the 

 month as poillble ; it may llill be performed both in ever- 

 greens and tlie late iliooting deciduous kinds. See Z>£- 

 cemher. 



Clean the Plcafure Garden^ 

 Every part of this garden fliould be now well cleaned^ 

 and put into the befl order. 



Keep the grafs-walks and lawns perfedly clear from 

 vvorm-cill?, for thefs appear unflghtly, and fpoil the 

 grafs.
