196 The P l e a s u r e> cr [June. 



Examine the evergreens and flowering fhrubs : when they 

 have made any remarkable rtrong dilorderly flioots, they 

 ihould have the faid fhoots reduced to order, either by cut- 

 ting them clofe, cr fhortening, as it fhall feem moft 

 proper, ib as to train, or confine the plant to a fomewhat 

 regular form. 



Waterings. 



New planted {hrubs of every kind fhould ftill be now 

 and then watered in dry weather, in particular fuch as were 

 planted late. 



Water alfo, in dry weather, all the pots of double roc- 

 kets, rofe-campion, catchfly, campanulas, fcarlet lychnis, 

 and double fweet-williams ; and all other plants that are 

 contained in pots. 



They will want water at leaft three times a week, but in 

 particular the fmall pots ; for thefe, containing but a fmail 

 portion of earth, will confequently require to be often 

 refreihed v/ith water. 



Likewlfe, let the earth in the top of all the pots, be now 

 and then fiirred to a little depth j for this will not only ap- 

 pear neat, but will alfo encourage the plants. 



Remember alfo to give water in dry weather to the feed- 

 ing auriculas and polyanthufcs, and alfo to all other fmall 

 young feedling plants. 



Auricula Plants, 



The auricula plants in pots fhould, where it was not 

 done laft month, be now placed upon a clean fpot in the 

 ihade ; but not under trees, &c. 



The pots mull, in dry weather, be often watered ; the 

 plants kept clean from decayed leaves, and the pots from 

 weeds* 



Monu Grafs Walks and LaTvns. 



Mow grafs walks and lawns duly according as they 

 want it. 



Let them be mown generally about once a week ; and, 

 if this be done in a complete and neat manner, it will, 

 even in a moift feafon, keep almoft any walks or other 

 pieces of grafs in tolerable good order. 



The edges of grafs walks and lawns Ihould alfo be kept 

 cut very clofe and even, for this will add greatly to the 

 beauty and neatnefs of them^
