Nov. moved into a Place where it is fheltered and 
; fhaded from the Sun, except for the two or three 
firft Hours in the Morning. 
In this Manner the young Plants. will appear, 
and come flowly and gradually forward. | Z 
_ When theyare alittle grown, they muft be very 
gently watered at Times; and about five Months 
from the Time of eS ne will be fit to 
tranfplant. 
Chufe a fhady Border, and ee off the 
Mould four Inches deep, fill its Place with fome 
of the Compoft. In the Evening of a moift 
Day tranfplant them into this Border. 
Draw Lines length-way and a-crofs of the 
Border, at five ae Diftance.; inthe Centre of 
each Square, made by thefe Lines, open a little 
Hole, and when all is ready, take up one by one 
the Plants. : 
Place them immediately as they are taken up, 
one in each Hole, and give them a very gentle 
Watering. | 
From this Time repeat the Watering every 
Evening for a Week, and every other, or every 
third Day afterwards, unlefs in rainy ain 
for two Montlis.

Weeds, and enriching it by the continual break- 
ing; will with the Help of the Waterings, 
bring on the Plants in a furprifing. Manner. 
The firft Week in September, prepare a Bor- 
der in another Part of the Garden; let it be 
fheltered from the South Sun, but .open.to_ its 
Rays i ina Morning. 
Clear the upper Part of. this as ; the other, 
: to fix Inches Depth; and fill up with the Re- 
mainder of the Compott. 
Draw Lines length-way and crofs- -way of this, 
as of the other, but at feven Inches Diftance; 
and in the Centse of each Square, open a Hole. 
Into thefe remove the Plants; taking them up 
with a Ball of their own Earth; and carefully 
watering them till they are rooted. |

This Management, clearing the Ground of 
Stick up a few Furze-bufhes about. this Border , 
We fhall fpare no Pains to inform the 
of thofe Plants, which are the ufual Ornaments © 
The Name F rench Marigold may lead the Stu- | 
+ the Earth broken between Plant and ~ Plant. 
This clears them from Weeds, and enriches the 
Ground. In April they will flower. 
_ Their Flowers will not be { {trong this as the 
fucceeding Years, but their Kinds eis Colours 
will be diftin@lly feen. 
There will be many of an inferior Sort : ; but 
there will never fail. to be alfo a sreat Number 
of very fine Ones. 
Let a Stick be fet down by ‘cats of thefe as a 
Mark ; and let a Quantity of the fame Compoft 
_ be made up into a Border, in a fhady Part of 
the Garden, where the Morning Sun comes. 
This muft be a Spade deep 5 fori it is the Place 
where they are to remain. 
When the F lowering is over, let the Stalks of 
thefe fine ones be cut off, that the Roots may 
not be exhaufted by ripening Seeds while they are 
fo young ; and in this Border let them be planted, 
at a Foot Diftance; taking them up a Week af- 
ter cutting down the Stalks. 
Water thera gently till they are well-rooted, 
and after this they will require no particular Care. 
The Earth between them fhould be now and 
| then broke with a Trowel, and in this Manner 
they will flower in their full Glory the fucceed- 
ing Spring. 
Thus may a Stock of Polyanthus’s be raifed, 
that will very nearly equal Auricula’s. 
For their Management afterwards, no more is 
required than this. 
Every Odéfober, let a frefh Quantity of the 
Compoft be prepared as we have directed, and 
the fuceeding. Augu/?, let it be ufed thus. 
Let the Border of Polyanthus’s be dug out ; 
the Roots carefully taken up and laid in the 
Shade: And when the Earth is carried away, 
let the frefh Compoft be put in its Place. | 
_. Then part the Roots, and plant the ftrongeit 
and fineft in the Border, at the fame Diftance 
as at firft, the reft in other Parts of the Gar- 
dén. This will keep them in their full Beauty, 
and provide an annual Increafe. 
We fhall alfo direé&t the Gardener to con- 
tinue raifing Seedlings: Let him fave the Seed 
from the choiceft of thefe Flowers, and manage 
the young Plants as already directed. By this 
Means he will continue improving his Flowers ;
