Cut down the flalks of fuch flowers as are 

 decayed, and, where they are not to be tranf- 

 planted, dig the ground about thefti, and add 

 feme rotten dung, or fre(h earth, to the bor^ 

 ders, which will greatly ftrengthen their roots.

 lips, Cro-^vvn Imperials, Hyacinths, Fritillarias, 

 Colchicums, Cyclamens, Ranunculufes, Ane- 

 monies, and moft other bulbous and tuberofe 

 rooted flowers ; though it were better if done 

 the middle of the lafl: month, efpecially if the 

 feafon was moifl: j otherwife it is as well this 

 month, provided it be done early. Thefe 

 feeds fhould be fown in pots or tubs, filled 

 tvith light fre(h earth 5 and the feeds fhould 

 be fown pretty thick, obferving not to cover 

 them too thick with earth, efpecially the Ra- 

 nunculufes and Anomonies, whofe feeds are 

 very thin, and fubjefl to rot, if burled too deep. 

 Thefe pots or tubs mufl: be placed to have only 

 the morning fan until the beginning of the 

 next month, when they muft be removed into 

 a warmer fituation. But if the feafon ihould 

 prove dry, they fhould be refreihed gently with 

 v/ater. 



Sow the feeds of Auriculas and Polyan- 

 thufes in pots or boxes of light rich earth, 

 being very careful not to bury the feeds too 



deep^
