| The Management ih the Flower- bag 
Very elegant and effential Part of the Gar- 
den this “Week demands Attention ; ; that 
- where the flowering Shrubs are planted with fome 
Trees perhaps, and certainly with Roots of Flowers 
among them. Thefe Shrubs will now. be ftrong 
in Bud ; and the firft Shoots of the intermingled 
Flower-roots will be feen; the Ground therefore 
may have its laft Cleaning, without Danger of 
deftroying any Thing, and without aitarbine the 
Flower-buds, or young. Shoots and Leaves of the 
Shrubs, |

Morning of a bright Day, . after a flight. Night’s 
Froft. . He will cies fee every Shoot diftinétly, 
and the Mould will be crumbly. 
Let him ‘clear away. all Weeds, rake off all 
Rubbifh, take away broken or ftragling Branches; 
and break the whole Surface of the occa draw- 
ing up a little Mould about the Heads of the 
Plants, and round the Stems of the Shrubs. ° 
The Advantages -of this Practice, we have ex- 
plained on’ former Occafions, and play will now 
be feen moft plainly. : | 
~The returning Warmth of the Air, the Mci-

_ Nature encline all to growing ftrongly, and this 
will be encouraged by the Breaking of the Sur- 
face, and cutting off the extreme Fibres of the 
Roots. : a

by this to every Plant; the new broke Earth 
will allow free Paffage to their tender Fibres ; and

the like; thefe will have now acquired a due _ 
Heat, and the Plants muft be removed into 
them. 
The Evening of a mild, cloudy Day, is as | 
advantageous for this Purpofe, as for the tran{- 
planting in open Ground. 
Let Lines be drawn lenothwife, and acrofs the 
Mould t upon thefe new Hot-beds, at Diflances oe 
watering, “till perfectly rooted”; ; nc then they 
muft be by Degrees hardened to the Air. | 
Let the Gardénet’chufé the Evening of a drip- 
ping Day, and bring in this Week fome of the 
flowering Shrubs, into Parts of the Garden where | 
they are wanted. 
The Ciftus’s and fome of the Cytifus’ S, particu 
larly the fmaller, fucceed perfectly well at this Sea- 
fon ; and Phillereas, and fome others Beas be alfo : 
planted. . 
Let the Holes for thefe be large and well dug: 
the Roots taken “out of the Ground without In- 
jury, and fpread' carefully in the new Place, then 
{nipped off at the extreme Ends of the Fibres: and 
the Mould thrown’ in : after this, let fome thin 
Turf from a Common be laid round about the 
Stem, with the grafly Side downwards; and let 
the Waterings all run thro’ that. The Shrubs will 
be thus fecured from Accidents, and fet on 
fpeedy Growth.’
