 than the Englifh gardeners generally do, 

 though the. winters there are commonly more

Cover all pots and tubs of feedling flowers 

 in hard frofts, and alio from great fnows, which 

 are very injurious to them, efpecially to the 

 feedling Hyacinths, Perfian Irifes, Spring Cy- 

 clamen, Ranunculufes, Anemonies, Narcifliifes, 

 and fome other bulbous and tuberous-rooted 

 flowers, which, though hardy enough to refift 

 the cold of our climate, when their roots are 

 fully grown, yet, while young, are in danger 

 of being defl:royed by fevere froft. And where 

 thefe pots or tubs are not plunged into the earth, 

 there fliould be tan, litter, or dung, laid about 

 them, to prevent the froft from entering thro* 

 their fides. 



In mild weather you may plant fuch roots 

 of Ranunculufes, Anemonies, and Tulips, as 

 were kept out of the ground to retard them, 

 that they may fucceed thofe which were plant- 

 ed in autumn ; but this fliould not be done 

 when the earth is over wet, which would en- 

 danger the rotting of their roots ; and if there 

 fhould happen to fall much rain after they are 

 planted, or hard froft (hould foon after follow, 

 the beds muft be covered with mats, ftraw, or
