Then take up the roots out of the feed-bed, and im- 

 mediately plmt them into the beds prepared for them ; 

 let them be fet in rows : the rows to be four inches afun- 

 der, and the roots to be fet about two inches and a half 

 a-part in the row. 



The rac ft ready method will be to draw neat drills with, 

 a fmall hoe, making them about two inches deep, and 

 place the roots in the drills at the diitance above direiled, 

 and draw the earth over them, . covering them the depth 

 of tv/o inches. 



The next fummer, at the fame time, the roots are to 

 he removed again, and mull then be fet four inches each 

 way apart. 



Thus thefe feedlings are to be treated every fummer 

 till they are brought to a ftate of perfect flowering; ob- 

 ferving, at each removal, to allow more and more room. 



When they are brouglit to a condition of flowering, 

 they are then to be managed as the other old roots. 



But it will be feveral years before feme of the roots 

 arrive to that flate, particularly the tulips, which never 

 begin to fliew a flower till the Jixth or feventh year; but 

 the advantage of raifing this root in particular from feed, 

 is that when the feedlings are raifed to a flowering ftate, 

 and begin to break intoflripesor variegations, there will 

 ever/ year appear among them many new flowers. 



This is the advantage of raiflng them from feed ; and 

 likewife among the new flowers, there vvii! fometimes be 

 fome that greatly exxel, by the luflire of colour and re- 

 gularity of ilripes.

Sow anemone feed, and the feed of ranunculufes, and 

 fpring cyclamens. 



It will be moft advifeable to fow thefe feeds principally 

 in boxes or large wide-mouthed pots. 



The pots or boxes to be filled with rich, but very light 

 earth : the feeds are to be fcattered on pretty thick, and 

 covered lightly withflfted earth, not more than a quar- 

 ter of an inch deep. 



The boxes or pots, with thefe feeds and plants, when 

 they are come up,' are all to be managed as above diredt- 

 ed in the management of the feedling bulbs.
