43^ The Pleasure, or [Sept. 



Roll Gra'vel-'walks. 



Roll gravel-walks at leaft twice every week, for tbey 

 will not look well, nor be agreeable to walk upon, with- 

 out they are rolled fo often : and let tliefe walks be al- 

 ways kept very neat, not fuffering weeds or any litter to 

 appear on them. 



Borders, 



Keep the borders alfo, in particular thofe near the 

 principal walks, always very neat. Let no weeds (land, 

 nor fuffer decayed flower ftalks, dead leaves or otker 

 rubbiih, to remain in fuch places. 



Clearing a<way decayed Flo-ivcr-fiems. 



Llkewifego round the borders, from time to time,-an4 

 cut down the ftems of fuch plants as are pail flowering, 

 never fufi^ering thefe to ftand long after the bloom is pall:^ 

 for it looks ill to fee dead ftems ftand up among the 

 growing plants, or fuch as are in perfedlion. 



brimming fion-vering Plants. 



Look over now and then among the plants in gene- 

 ral ; and, where ftraggling (hoots or irregular branches 

 advance, take them off; clear away all weak dangling 

 ihoots, and take off dead or damaged leaves, fuffering 

 nothing to remain that would disfigure the plants. 



Continue alfo to tie up to flakes fuch plants as have 

 been blown down by winds or borne down by the weight 

 of wet. 



This in particular fliould be well attended to, for it 

 looks well to fee the plants ftanding perfedly upright, 

 and fecurely in their places. 



Propagate Fibrous-rooted Plants, 



This is the time to flip and plant out many kinds of 

 brous-rooted plants, to increafe themj fuch as rofe- 

 camplon, fcarlet lychnis, catchfly, and campanulas. 



When thefe plants are grown into large tufts, it will 

 be proper to take the roois entirely up, and part them, 

 and plant fome of the beft flips again in the borders or 

 places where they are to flower: the fmaller flips may be 

 planted together in a bed to remain to get ftrenp^th.
