another ; and to appear, as it were, but one frame, when 

 all are joined in that manner together. 



Thele frames are to be made ufe of in the following 

 manners 



Begifi firft with the deepell frame ; then, when the plants 

 have reached the glaffes, let the faid frame be taken up, 

 and in its place, fet one of the others, and immediately fix 

 the deepell frame upon that, as above. 



By the addition of this frame, there will be a fpace often 

 inches more room for the plants to fhoot; then, when they 

 have filled that fpace, let another frame be added; obferving, 

 as above, to let the deepeft frame be always ^placed upper- 

 moil, in order to receive the glalTes, 



As to thofe cocks-combs, tricolors, balfams, and the like 

 kinds, which were fown in the middle or latter end of March, 

 they will now be ready to prick out. 



They mull, in order to bring them forward, be pricked 

 out upon a new hot-bed : therefore, let one be prepared 

 for them, about the beginning, or middle of this month, 

 making it about two feet thick of dung. Set.on a frame, 

 and lay in five or fix inches depth of rich earth; then re- 

 moving the plants from the feed~bed, prick them in this, 

 at three or four inches dillance from each other ; then give 

 them a very moderate watering, put on the glailes, and 

 Ijiade the plants carefully from the fun, till they have taken 

 good root. Let the glafles be raifed every day, as occafion 

 requires, to let the lleam out, and alfo to admit frelh air 

 to the plants, 



Thefe plants are to be managed, in every refpeft, as di- 

 reded above for the early plants, of the fame kinds. 



Sonxing ten<iey Annuals, 



Where the fowing of the above kinds of tender annuals 

 was omitted in the two fornier months, it may Hill be done ; 

 and the plants raifed from this fowing, may be brought to 

 flower in July, Auguil, &c. 



The forts which you may yet few, are cocks-combs, tri- 

 colors, balfams, globe amaranthus, t^% plants, and alfo 

 the ice-plant, or any other fort, obferving the fame method 

 ia fowing as diredled in Februat-y and Mar<h, 



t.efs-t'endery or Hardier Kinds of Annual Plants, 



h Hight hot-bed fhould alfo be made now to prick fome
