42 The Gardeners Kalendar. Feb. 

 tranfplant ; therefore there niuft be new beds 

 made for them, which fhould be well wrought, 

 and the Dung well mixed to continue its 

 t^armth : but the plants muft not be planted 

 therein, until the violent heat of the bed is 

 over, which feldom lafls above a week, efpe- 

 daily if the dung had been two or three times 

 turned over before it was ufed» At this feafon 

 you muft attend very clofely to your hot-beds, 

 to admit frefh air to the plants as often as the 

 "weather will permit ; but this muft be ma- 

 naged with great caution, if you would have 

 them fuccoed ; for a fmall negledl: at this fea~ 

 fon will deftroy all your plants, and put you 

 greatly backward. There muft alfo be fome 

 feeds of Cucumbers now fown, to fucceed 

 thofe which are firft planted, efpecially if the 

 beds have not a fufficient depth of earth upon 

 the dung, the want of this often occafions the 

 plants to decay very foon : but when the earth 

 is laid a foot or more deep, the plants will 

 continue long healthy and fruitful ; by this 

 method a fmall number of plants will be fuffi- 

 cient to fupply a family j but as the very early 

 plants feldom continue long in bearing, where 

 a proper depth of earth is wanting, it is 

 neceffary to have a fucccffion of hot-beds 

 t<) fupply the table. This Month is full 



early
