July. The Gardeners Kalendar. 211 

 In dry weather, obferve to water all fuch 

 plants as have been lately tranfplanted^ and be 

 fure always to do this in an evening; for one 

 watering at that time is of more fervice than 

 three at any other time of the day, the moift- 

 ure having time to penetrate the ground (and 

 reach to the extreme fibres of the root, by 

 which they receive their nourifliment), before 

 the fun appears to exhale it ; whereas when it 

 is given in the morning, the fun coming on 

 foon after, the moifture is drawn up before it 

 reaches the root ; and where there is conve- 

 nience to lay mulch upon the furface of the 

 ground about the roots of plants, that will pre- 

 vent the fun from exhaling the moiflure, fo that 

 one watering will be of more fervice than three 

 or four, where that is wanting. 



You muft now diligently deftroy the weeds 

 in every part of the garden, which if fufFered 

 to remain, will foon pcrfedl their feeds 3 and 

 when thefe are permitted to fcatter upon the 

 ground, they will fill it with weeds for feveral 

 years crop, to the no fmall trouble of the gar- 

 dener, as alfo to the great injury of the crops. 

 Obferve a!fo to clear dunghills from weeds, 

 for thefe are too often negkded; andifth« 

 weeds are permitted to feed there, they will be 

 brought into the garden, and be as troublefome
