A COMPL EAT BODY, Su 
not the beft, Experience dices that it will often | 
‘greatly damage the Roots, and do more harm 
than the Addition good. 
The proper Potrdneutt te! the Purpofe is a 
three pronged Fork, like what the Farmers ule ; ; 
but as fuch an Inftrument will ferve on many 
Occafions as well as this, it will be proper to add 
it to the Number of regular Gardeners Tools, - 
and to have it fabricated purpofely. | 
What I have many Years ufed, is made in this 
Manner : 
The Handle is the fame with that of | 
the Spade, and the Tron Part is very ftrong ; the 
Top is as broad as a Spade, and made Square, 
that the Foot may reft well upon it to prefs «it 
‘ down into the Ground, and the three Tongs are 
thick, fcooping like a Speen, anda little flat-_ 
ted. 
This is the proper Inftrumeént Soe digs 
with this it fhould be well wrought and mix- 
ed with the Soil’ of the Bed, dug. up to about 
feven Inches Depth for that Barpott : When the 
whole is well. mixed, let the Border be raked 
over ; and nothing planted upon it; that all the 
Strength of the Manure may go to the Roots of 
the Trees. 
In treating in a fucceding Part of this Work, of 
the Soil for Fruit-Trees ; we fhall give Direétions 
for peculiar Kinds of Manures faited to each, 
for the making of a Garden; but this Kind we 
have here delivered, may very well ferve for 
ceneral Ur; and none an{wers better for the — 
Refrefhment of Garden-Ground exhaufted by a 
‘ long Growth of Fruit-Trees.

YE have airegted the esa of young Sal- 
leting upon Hot- beds, and cet 18 be re- | 
peated this Week. 
Thefe Hot-beds mutt be of a temperate Degree 
young Growth Air, when the Weather is any 
Thing tolerable, in the middle of the Day. 
If the Days be mild toward the End of. 
this Week, it will be proper once again to plant 
fome Beans, and to fow a few Drills of Peafe: 
If they out-live the Froft, tey. make a good j 
Succeffion. 
A great deal of Care is required for the Cauli-_ 
piasee Plants under the Glaffes. If covered too 
continually, they will fade for Want of Air; 
and if expofed to the Severity of the Seafon too 
freely, they will be nipped by it, and come to 
little. | 
Let our Gardener pipet ck keep the Glaftes | 
clofe, whenever it is fharply frofty ; and let him 
watch all Opportunities of milder Days, and | 
from Eleven to Two, raife them more and more 
according to the Seafon; thus he will keep’ 
them not only alive but healthy.

Every Thing is now bare ao naked in this 
! Part. of the Ground, except the few. Spots co- 
vered with the Winter Crops; let him therefore 
take this Opportunity of looking after Snails, 
of Warmth, and Care muft be taken to give ‘the ce 
Nefts of Caterpillars, and other Devourers; there is 
nothing to hide them from his Search, and they 
| are in no Condition to efcape him. 
On the Tops of the Branches in his Hedges, | 
and on many Trees that are about the Place, he | 
will fee Bags like Cobwebs: Theféare the Nefts of — 
Caterpillars; that will the next Year eat his Cab-. 
bages and other valuable Products; let him cut 
them off, and burn them. 
Snails are now got into their Winter Shelter, in 
| Holes of Walls, and under Logs of Woods, 
and in all Kinds of Crevices; let there be picked © 
carefully out of their Holes, and every Hedge 
_and Pale fearched for them. 
It is a Bufinefs that muft be done, and there is 
no Time fo proper for it, as when it interferes 
with no other. 3 
The Ground being thus cleared, the Gardener 
‘may leave it forthe prefent,
