ELE Bufinels of the Seminary will be now 
encreafing. “Phere are many of the hardy. | 
Shrubs which muft be fown in the Beginning: of 
the fueceedine Months ; 
muft be made now. 
Let a Piece of Ground be fcleteedl for this Pur- 
pofe, that is open to the Morning Sun and not 
expos’d to the cold Winds. Bring on fome frefh. 
Earth from a dry rich Pafture, and fpreading it 
an Inch thick over the Ground, dig it in. 
throw up the Mould all together in two Ridges, 
Faft and Weft, and thus leave it, a say rake to’ 
moulder and. impregnate: "= 4 
After this, if the Weather be ee. nate : 
more is to be done, but overlooking the Ground, 
and defending the feveral Crops, as we have be- 
fore directed, by ftrewing Peafe-ftraw over fome, 
and drawing Mats or Cloths over the-Hoops of 
the others. 
If the Weather be milder, fomething may be 
done 3 in pruning of the hardier Kinds of ‘Frees, - 
A great deal of Art is to be"employ’d for briag- 
ing the Shrub and Tree-Kind introduc’d. into 
Gardens, to proper F orm. There are many of 
and, 
in fome, the very’ Manner of Growth has its 
Beauty. In thefe Cafes various Methods are to 
be employ’d, eae to ag Intent and Purpofe | 
of the Growth. — 
and for thefe BP | 
Then | 
Let the Gardener confider whether the Defign 
_ be to difplay wild Nature in a full Freedom of the 
. Growth, or to train up the Shrub to Form. 
In thofe Cafes where the Manner of earch, i iS 
a naturally beautiful, he has: nothing to do. but to 
take out dead, or turn afide ill growing Branches. 
_ gularity ; and the Bufinefs of Art, in this Inftance, 
to appear. 
Therefore in thofe Shruibs intended for full 
oF reedom of Growth, let him fee if a any Bough. 
~Yurs out in-a bad Place too long for all the. reft, 
and in that Cafe he is to take or heap. 12 
any where the Branches ftand too clofe, let him 
take out a middle, one from among them, or thin 
one of its Shoots; ahd finifh this Work by making 
the Boughs in general, tho’ ever fo wild in their 
Difpofition, run clear of one another. — 
This done with the wild crowing Kinds, let 
him trim up the others to a Head; but let him 
wn oS TI nt m 
fmall Shoots upon the Stems; for otherwife the Sap 
| will not be drawn up in due Quantity” 
In all thefe Things Moderation is the Rule: 
| this let the’ Gardener obferve ftridtly ; ; for he who 
_ufes his Knife too freely, is worfe than he who ut- 
a 
terly negleéts the Trees. _

HIS is the Seafon for providing an early 
Crop of Strawberries: they will be very 
valuable for coming fo long before the others 5 
and the Expence and Labour are trifling. Some 
good Roots are to be potted for this Purpofe, and. 
she ir Fruiting is to be brought forward by a Hot- 
Bed: this is the general Bufinefs, but a great deal 
depends upon a proper Management. 
In the firft Place, there is one Kind that fucceeds 
better than the others in this Method : this is the 
Scarlet Strawberry : therefore let the Plants be of this 
Sort; and it will be proper to mix three or four 
Pots of the great Chilz Strawberry among them: 
thefe, with Sond Management, will fucceed ; 
and their Fruit, which is as big as a Pullet’s Egg,

will make a fine Figure among the reft in a De- 
fert. . : 
Let as many middle-fiz’d Pots be provided as 
will ftand in a moderate Hot-Bed; bring in fome 
dry Earth from under the Turf in a rich Pafture, 
and break in among it a little Wood-Soot, and 
fome fat Marle; or, in Want of that, a little foft 
Chalk. 
With this, 
of the Pots three Inches deep. 
Let a Hot-Bed be got ready, and let Care be 
taken that it have an equal and a moderate Heat. 
Let the Gardener take the Opportunity of the 
firft mild Day, when the Earth is loofen’d from 
the preceding Frofts; to take up the Plants in this.

is to preferve the one without permitting the other _
