PEARS. 



The Caw-pear (baking), Green-butter-pear, Thorn- 

 pear, Clove-pear, Roussel-pear, Lombart-pear, Russet-

Now your Hyacinthus Tuberose not enduring the 

 wet, must be set into the house, and preserved very dry 

 till April. 



Continue sowing what you did in September, if you 

 please : Also, 



You may plant some Anemonies, and Ranunculus's, 

 in fresh sandish earth, taken from under the turf ; but 

 lay richer mould at the bottom of the bed, which 

 the fibres may reach, but not to touch the main roots, 

 which are to be covered with the natural earth two 

 inches deep : and so soon as they appear, secure 

 them with Mats, or Straw, from the winds and frosts, 

 giving them air in all benigne intervals ; if possible 

 once a day. 



Plant also Ranunculus's of Tripoly, etc. 



Plant now your choice Tulips, etc., which you feared 

 to interre at the beginning of September ; they will 

 be more secure and forward enough : but plant them 

 in natural earth somewhat impoverish'd with very 

 fine sand ; else they will soon lose their variegations ; 

 some more rich earth may lye at the bottom, within 

 reach of the fibres : Now have a care your Carnations 

 catch not too much wet ; therefore retire them to
