KALENDARIUM HORTENSE 



Cammomile, etc. Also the Capillaries ; Matricaria, 

 Violets, Prim-roses, etc., may now be transplanted. 



Now you may also continue to grow Alaternus, 

 Philyrea (or you may forbear till the Spring), Iris, Crown 

 Imper ; Martagon, Tulips, Delphinium, Nigella, Cand- 

 tufts, Poppy ; and generally all the Annuals which are 

 not impair'd by the Frosts. 



Your Tuberoses will not endure the wet of this Season ; 

 therefore set the Pots into your Conserve, and keep 

 them very dry. 



Bind up now your Autumnal Flowers, and Plants to 

 stakes, to prevent sudden gusts which will else prostrate 

 all you have so industriously rais'd. 



About Michaelmas (sooner, or later, as the Season 

 directs) the weather fair, and by no means foggy, retire 

 your choice Greens, and rarest Plants (being dry) as 

 Oranges, Lemmons, Indian and Span. Jasmine, Oleanders, 

 Barba-Jovis, Amomum Plin. Citysus Lunatus, Cham- 

 alaca tricoccos, Cistus Ledon Clussii, Dates, Aloes, 

 Seduns, etc., into your Conservatory ; ordering them 

 with fresh mould, as you were taught in May, viz. 

 taking away some of the utmost exhausted earth, and 

 stirring up the rest, fill the Cases with rich, and well 

 consumed soil, to wash in, and nourish the roots during 

 Winter ; but as yet leaving the doors and windows 

 open, and giving them much Air, so the Winds be not 

 sharp, nor weather foggy ; do thus till the cold being 

 more intense advertise you to enclose them altogether : 

 Myrtils will endure abroad neer a Moneth longer. 



The cold now advancing, set such plants as will not 

 endure the House into the earth ; the pots two or three 

 inches lower than the surface of some bed under a 

 Southern exposure : then cover them with glasses, 

 having cloath'd them first with sweet and dry Moss ; 

 but upon all warm, and benigne emissions of the Sun
