 roots ; it Ihould be done in a dry day, and when the 

 ground is alfo. pretty dry ; fome people, for the greater 

 certainty of finding all the roots, and their fmall oir-iets, 

 but efpecially of the fine forts^, fift all the earth of the 

 bed as deep as they are planted, paring it up neatly an 

 equal depth, and fo fearch for the roots among the iittle 

 lumps of earth, and ftones that remain in the lieve. Let 

 the roots, when taken up, be fpread to dry, rather out of 

 full fun, and fecure from wet.

 boxes, and place them in a dry room, till the time for 

 planting them again.

 which were out of bloom laH: month, were then taken up, 

 and laid fideways into a ridge of dry earth to plump and

 and ho u fed. .

 fpread them upon mats in a dry place for a few days ; and 

 put them up in clofe and dry boxes, till September or
