 and the Anemonies and Ranunculufes fliould 

 be covered about two or three inches with 

 earth, according as it is light or heavy, over 

 the top of their roots ; but the Tulips fhouM

 roots, which will caufe them to flower very

 fhould flielter your pots of choice Auriculas 

 and Carnations therefrom, or lay the pots down 

 on one fide, that the wet may run off; for 

 great rains, at this feafon, will fill the mould 

 in the pots fo full of moifl:ure, that it will not 

 dry again before winter, whereby the roots of 

 choice flowers will be rotted^ or at leafi: greatly 

 prejudiced.
