Auriculas in Pots. 



The auriculas in pots, and the carnation layers which 

 were planted in fmall pots, mull now be well guarded 

 from heavy rains, fnow and froft, when either happens. 



The pots fhould at this time may be placed or plunged 

 clofe together i.\ a garden frame, if not done laft month : 

 and when the weather is unfavourable, let the plants be 

 defended by putting on the glafTes. 



But where there is no frame to be had, let the pots be 

 fet clcfe together, in a raifed feed of dry foil, about four 

 feet wide ; and if the earth be dry, plunge them : then 

 place hoops acrofs, and in bad weather let mats be 

 drawn over them. 



- Let thefe plants, in dry open weather, be conflantly 

 uncovered, day and night. 



V/hen there are no proper convenience of fhclter, the 

 pots of auriculas in particular may be laid down on one 

 fide, under a fouth wall ; and place the carnation alfo 

 in a fimilar fi^uation, but the pots not laid down. 



Seedling Flcnx-ers. 



The boxes or pots of feedling flowers fhould be re-

 better from hard froils ; and when the weather proves 

 very fevere, it will be advifeable alfo to cover them with 

 long litter or with mats. 



Prune Flonvering Shruhs. 



Prune flowering flirubs and evergreens, and dig the 

 ground between and about the plants. 



Cut out from thefe fhrubs all very long rambling grow- 

 ing flioots, of the lafl fummer*s growth ; alfo take out or 

 fliorten all ftraggling or irregular branches, and cut out 

 . all dead wood. 



When the branches of any fhrub fland to© clofe, let 

 fome of the. worll be taken away, leaving the reft at 

 fomewhat regular diftances. 



Let none of the branches of two or more flirubs inter-

 which is always more pleafing to the eye.
