JANUARY. 



To be done 

 IN THE PARTERRE, AND FLOWER GARDEN. 



Set up your Traps for Vermin ; especially in your 

 Nurseries of Kernels and Stones, and amongst your 

 Bulbous-roots : About the middle of this month, plant 

 your Anemony-roots, which will be secure of, without 

 covering, or farther trouble : Preserve from too great 

 and continuing Rains (if they happen), Snow and Frost, 

 your choicest Anemonies, and Ranunculus's sow'd 

 in September, or October for earlier Flowers : Also 

 your Carnations, and such seeds as are in peril of being 

 wash'd out, or over chill'd and frozen ; covering them 

 with Mats and shelter, and striking off the Snow where 

 it lies too weighty ; for it certainly rots, and bursts 

 your early-set Anemonies and Ranunculus's, etc., unless 

 planted now in the Hot-bed ; for now is the Season, and 

 they will flower even in London. Towards the end, 

 earth-up, with fresh and light mould, the Roots of 

 those Auriculas which the frosts may have uncovered ; 

 filling up the chinks about the sides of the Pots where 

 your choicest are set : but they need not be hous'd ; 

 it is a hardy Plant. 



FLOWERS IN PRIME, OR YET LASTING. 



Winter Aconite, some Anemonies, Winter Cyclamen,
