 and make a beautiful appearance late in the 

 autumn. 



Tranfplant fuch biennial and perennial flow- 

 ers as were fown in the flower-nurfery in 

 March, if they are grown large enough for the 

 purpofe, into bedsof freih earth in the nurfery^ 

 where they may remain till the latter end of 

 September, or the beginning of Odober, when 

 they mull be removed into the borders of the 

 flower-garden : of thefe forts are Canterbury 

 Bells, French Honeyfuckles, Sweet-Williams, 

 Pinks, Columbines, Fox-gloves, Greek Vale- 

 rian, Hollyhocks, with many others. 



Tie up the fpindles of Carnations, diverting 

 them of all fide pods, which, if permitted to 

 remain on, would weaken the top and principal 

 flower ; and alfo put down flakes to faften the 

 ftems of all flowers which are to blow, 

 otherwife they will be in danger of being 

 broken by the winds. 



In this month, if the young flower-ftalks of 

 the fcveral forts of Lychnidea, the late flower- 

 ing After or Starwort with narrow leaves, and 

 the Double fcarlet Lychnis, are cut off and 

 planted in a fliady border, they will take root 

 very well ^ and this is the befl method of pro- 

 pagating feveral of thefe perennial flowers. 

 The cuttings of th« Starwort will make good 



plants,
