in each Head of common Flower, Flofcules 
of two Kinds, tubulated and ligulated : in this, as | 
alfo in many others, they are uniform, or all alike. 
It is therefore a Matter of Indifference where he 
chufes one of them for his Examination. 
Let him feparate any one Flofcule ; obferve

Then opening it caretelly length-way, by a |

This fingular Plant is a Native of Africa, where 
it is only found in the beft and richeft Soils. 
Thing neglected hitherto by Gardeners; but, in 
Reality, the only Guide they can have for the pro- 
per Culture of any Exotic Plant. | 
In Autumn, let there be a Quantity of Earth 
cut from the Surface of a very rich Pafture, with | 
the Turf upon it: let this be taken five Inches — 
deep; and put of it two Barrows full in an ex- 
pos’d Place. Lay upon this two Barrows of Ri- 
ver-Mud; one Barrow of Earth from under a | 
that there are

_Melon- Bed. 
’Stir all thefe together, and bury the Turf-Earth, 
This prepares an excellent rich Soil for thof 
Exotics which ea ‘fuch ; and this Quantity 
will ferve for feveral. | : 
Let it be turn’d as fome Time: and when 
the Turf is broken and decay’d, let this Turning 
be repeated frequently. 
The Earth being prepar’d, the next Care’ is for 
Abroad; if not, let fuch as were ripen’d here be us’d. 
~ They are to be fown on a’ Hot-Bed, in Spring ; 
Conipott. 
Thefe are to be fet in a Batk-Bed, and fhadec 
till they have taken Root; after which they muft 
| be harden’d by Degrees to the Air. 
_ When they are grown to a good Bignefs, they 
muft be remov’d into larger Pots, taking all the 
Earth of the firft with them, and: only trimming 
| round the Fibres. 
In thefe they muft be fhelter’d a little ‘hii’ in 
the Bark-Bed; and after hardening by the Air, 
admitted in the hotteft Time of the Day by raif- 
| ing the Glaffes, they may be fet out among the 
other Greenhoufe Plants; with which they mutt be 
| taken in at the Approach of Winter. ri |

This is a Retin why the Plant fhould be rais’d

advife the Gardener always to keep a three or four 
Year old Plant for Seeds, becaufe fuch bring them

OVEMBER is a Month in which Froft -

when it comes on with any Severity, for there 1 iS 
‘no warring with the Elements. 
He is thotehene to confider the Bufinefs of this, 
and the fucceeding Weeks, as divided. into two 
Kinds, according to the Weather: in-fuch as is 
fomewhat milder, he may work upon the Ground, 
and prepare and manage his more hardy Plants ; 
and when it is more fevere, he muft employ him- 
felf in defending the tenderer Kinds, by fheltering 
é | 
chem with Mats, dena, or other Covering. | 
In this Manner he is to confider the Labours of 
the Winter Months to be divided: and in the very 
worft Weather, he canbe cleaning his Seeds, and pre- 
paring his Tools and Inftruments for a’better Seafon. 
As the firft Week of November is generally 
fomewhat mild, let him take the Advantage of 
employing thofe, perhaps, laft Days of am.open 
Seafon; in cleaning his Ground and finifhing his 
Autumnal Plantations.
