Tr an/plant Secdlir.g Plants, 

 Tranfplant from the feed-bed, the wall-flowers, floek 

 July flowers, fweet-williams, and columbines, which were 

 fown in Marth or April. 



They mull now be planted into nurfery-beds. Let them 

 •be fet about .fix inches afunder ; and as fcon as planted, 

 give them a good watering, to fettle the earth properly 

 about their roots. 



The plants are to remain iti this bed till about Michael- 

 mas ; and are then to be planted out again for good, into 

 the borders or places where they are to remain. They 

 will make a fine fliew with their flowers the next year. 



Tranfplant alfo the hollyhocks, tree-primrofe, fox- 

 gloves and pyramidal campanulas, which were fown in the 

 fpring. 



Like wife the Canterbury bells, and Greek valerian ; 

 fmgle rofe-campion, rockets, fcarlet lychnis, and fuch 

 other perennial and biennial plants as were fovvn two or 

 three months ago. 



Thefe mufl: alfo be planted about fix inches a-part, in 

 nurfery-beds, there to remain till September orOdober ; 

 by which time, they will make ftrong and handfome plants ; 

 and aie then to be taken up and planted out where they 

 are to remain to flower. 



They will all flower next fummer, and will make a 

 beautiful appearance, provided they are properly placed 

 in difterent parts of the garden. 



Carnations* 



Take care of the choice flage carnations: fome of the 

 for wardell will probably, towards the latter end of the 

 monthjbegin tobreak their flovverpods for flowering, at which 

 time fuch as are required to blow in the utmofl: perfection, 

 muil be well attended. , 



One great article in the beauty of this curious flower, 

 is to have it open regularly; but this the larger flowers 

 will not always do, without the helpof an ingenious hand, 

 -rind therefore in the capital kinds of fl:age carnations, 

 that in ordfr to favour the equal opening of the flower 

 pod, and more regular expa.nfion of the petals, in fuch 

 flowers particularly, which difcover a tendency to burll 

 open irregularly, may carefully flit the pod or flower cup 

 . a little way down at top, in two or three dilFerent parts,
