New Principles of Gardentng. 
Thefe being provided, we muft, in the next Place, confider 
which of the feveral Sorts of Flowers are beft for our Purpofe, 
that are, asI faid before, T'ruly Innocent, Beautiful, and Pleafant. 
Firft then, to begin the Year, prepare fome indifferent good 
Mold, with which fill as many Pots as are fufficient for your 
Chimney; and in the Middle of each Pot, plant a very large 
Root, or two, of Snow-Drops, of the double Kind, which en- 
viron with a Circle of the feveral Sorts of Crocus: This Work 
being done at the Time when Snow-Drops and Crocus have 
done Blowing, will, in the fanaary following, make a glorious 
Appearance, and grace their Places of Abode, wherein they 
then are placed. % 
The Polyanthos prefents its beautiful Flowers in February, 
as alfo the Hepatica, Hyacinths, and Violets; all which being 
planted in the like Manner, will fucceed the preceding, and be 
very entertaining. 
In March, we have Stock-July-Flowers, Hyacinths, and Vio- 
lets; and if they are all planted together in one Pot, vzz. the 
Stock-July-Flower in the Center, and the Hyacinths and Violets 
about it, they will make a very beautiful Appearance, and their 
{weet Odors be very agreeable. | 
The moft beautiful Flowers of 4fri/, are Hyacinths, Stock- 
July-Flowers, Wall-Flowers, Tulips, Ranunculus, Anemonies, 
Jonquils, Narciffus,and Auricula’s; which are thus to be difpofed 
of, vzz. In the Center of fome Pots plant a Wall-Flower; in 
others, a Clufter of Tulips, or Jonquils, becaufe they both grow 
indifferent high; and in Order to have them in the greateft 
Beauty, let every Tulip in each Pot be of a different Colour ; 
and that they may make their beft Appearance, place a 
handfome Flower-Stick in the Center of each Pot, with a gilt 
Head, to which tie up every Flower with Thread, &e.- but 
in a free loofe Manner, fo as not to reprefent a ftiff Bundle ot 
Flowers, void of Freedom, in which the Beauty of every 
Thing confilts. The Jonquils muft be encompaffed with a 
Circle of Ranuncuius; the Tulips, with a Circle of Hyacinths ; 
the Stock-July-Flowers, with Anemonies ; and the Wall-Flow- 
ers with Narcillus.
