The Bufne of th SEMINARY, fe this Wh 
ET the Gahdene go « over bis Beds which» 
4 are intended for planting i in Spring, and give | 
the Earth its lait Turning. Let this be done — 
with great Care. Let all Clods be broke; and | 
let the Whole be thrown up in a new Ridge, to. 
-fequence at different Times ; 
and fhall advife the 
careful Gardener now to repeat the fowing of fome 
Flowers whofe Seeds will grow at this Beviad: If 
the others fown in Autumn fail, thefe will yield ; a 
Supply that will be very favourable ; and if thofe 
receive the Influence of the Air, till the Time of | fucceed, ftill there is nothing but. Advantage in 
levelling it ‘for Planting. 
Let him, for the laft Time, look over his 
Trees, with a View to Pruning. If any Branch 
hang amifs, that he did. not obferve before; if 
any be. kill’d by the Froft, or broke down by the d 
Winds, det him ufe his Knife to them with Bold- | 
nefs and Diferetion, taking off the one below 
where it is broke, and the others to the Quick | 
“It is but little that will require to be done 
in this Way now, if he have follow’d our former — 
Directions heedfully ; and it is the laft Deporms: 
Part. 
nity he will have for doing it. 
Let the Ground be dug up between fach as are 
and let all Roots 
of Perennial Plants be carefully picked out. 
Let him examine his young Trees, to fee whe- 
ther they be crop’d or bark’d: and “if any fuch. | 
Mifchief appear, Jet him look well to his Fences. 
It is a "Time when the fmaller Kind of Animals 
are in the greateft Diftrefs for Food: and they 
- will therefore be moft apt to do Mifchief. © 
_ For the fame Reafon, while he repairs his Fen- 
ces to keep out thefe Kinds, let him daily bait his 
Traps about the Seed-Beds ; the Devourers he is | 
to fear there are too {mall to be kept out of the 
Ground ; -and no Way i is left but to deftroy them — 
| 8 the Places. 
We have every where recommended to the Gar- | 
pee the raifing his Flowers of the choicer Kinds 
from Seeds. It is by this Practice the Dutch and 
French-fo lone excell’d us in that Article ; and ’tis 
to the Rilewinig of the fame Method alone we mutt 
owe the equaling them for the future. 
We have under our Directions for the Autumnal | 
“Weeks, defcribed this at Jarge; and fhall only add - 
here the common Caution of a Referve, in Cafe 
of Accidents. - 
We have direéted fowing Things of lefs Con- 
| having a greater Number : 
| fome Good attending thefe fucceffive Growths. - 
and there generally is 
‘Two Kinds we fhall particularly direct him to 
fow this Week ; thefe are the Auricula and Polyan- 
thous Primrofe: their Seeds, we know from Ex- — 
perience, will grow at this Seafon; and the Tro: uble, 
in the Way we are about to direct, is very little. 
Let a Couple of Boxes be nail’d up, of rough 
Boards, five Inches deep, and a Yard long, and 
nearly as much in Breadth. 
Fill thefe with fome of the light and not over 
rich Compofts; and ftrew upon the Surface of one 
fome Seeds of uricula, and on the other fome 
| Polyanthus Seed. Sift a Quarter of an Inch of 
| the fame Compoft over them, and then pigs 
the Place for their Reception. 
_ Chufe a high and dry Spot in the Munteys and 
cover the inecinid half a Foot deep with Coal- 
afhes. Set the Boxes upon this, and cover then 
lightly with Pea-ftraw. 
_ Lay more Pea-ftraw all round them, and keep 
it in its Place with a few Bricks. 
: Thus the Boxes will be defended at the Sides; 
_as well as covered at the Top; and in this Man. 
ner they may be left to Nature. The Mould 
will be mellow enough, and they will be fhelter’d 
| from the Rigour of the enfting Seafon. 
InS Spring the Pea-ftraw may be remov’d, and 
there will be found many promifing Plants. 
- 'Thefe muft be taken into the fame Care with the 
others, from that Time, and they will produce as 
_ good Plants. 
The whole Management of the Polyanthus we 
have given under that Head in our Fourteenth 
Number ; and fhall, in the fame Manner, <reat 
of the 4uricula when we mention it at the Time 
of its flowering.
