_ March. 
Let the Seeds be fcattered carefully thin and re- 
- gular; and let a Quarter of an Inch of Mould 
be fifted over them. Carelefs or ignorant Gardeners 
rake them in; but this defeats the Purpofe of 
that careful Sowing we directed. The Seeds are 
thus drawn papleslues in Lumps in fome Places, 
and there are Vacancies in others. It is- not fit 
by any Means , 
that the Plants may flower where they rife, with- 
out Removal. 
This Care taken for a Supply of the common 
Kinds, let the Gardener look to his Beds of valu- 
able Flowers; they will now be in a Condition to 
demand his beft Attention, piomitng foon to reward 
the Labour.

after Sun-rife give them a gentle Watering ; and 
manage the Covering and Expofure in a mode- 
rate Way, neither to choak nor ftatve them. — 
This is the Time for removing the Boxes of 
young Auricula Plants from their Winter Situa- 
tion. They muft now have little Sun. 
Let no Mofs or Weed appear upon the Mould; 
and if it grow dry, refrefh the Whole with a lit- 
tle Water. This muft be given from a Pot with a 
very fine Nofe, and in good Order: and it muft 
be held but a fmall Height above the Surface. Heavy 
Watering will wafh away the Mould from the 
more fuiperficial Roots; and a Crack in the Head 
of the Pot may throw half of them out of the 
Ground.

covers it muft be very rich; and laid one Inch — 
deeper than on the other. Thefe prepar’d this 
Week will be ready the next, for the Reception of 
the Plants. 
Now let him regulate the Management of the 
Greenhoufe, according to the Weather : the Plants 
require Air after their long Confinement from it ; 
but they are made tender beyond their Nature, by 
that Clofenefs ; therefore the utmoft Care mutt be 
taken.in admitting it to them. 7 
The Middle of mild Days mutt wags be 
watch’d for this Purpofe, and the Glaffes muft be 
open’d a little: the very leaft, when it can fafely 
be done, will be ferviceable ; and by Degrees 
they will bear more.
