OF GARD EN ING. 
May.: The Stalk is frm, round, green, upright, and, 
o——_———. according, to the Soil, from fix to fixteen Inches in 
Height. . 
The Leaves are very numerous, they ftand dp- 
pofite at the Bottom; but on the upper Part of 
the Stalk are alternate. Thefe lower Leaves are 
~ alfo confiderably broad, the others are narrow and 
fharp-pointed, rib’d, of a pale green. 
The Flowers hang from the Tops : of the Stalks 
in various Directions, but with a wild and pleafe- 
“ing Irregularity. Together they form a roundifh 
Clutter, and they fine naturally downward, but 
their Stalks twift, and fometimes turn a little irre- 
gularly upwards. 
Their Colour is a dingy Putple mix’d with 
Yellow. 
The “Flower confifts of fix Petals, as in the 
others: a broad Rib of dufky Yellow runs

along em Middle of each Petal, and the Sides are 
Purple. There is little of the Chequering vifible 
in this Part: all that approaches to it, is, that a 
féw Purple Spots ate irregularly fcattered over the 
yellow Rib. 
Within the Colours are brighter, and plac’d- 
more regularly: the Part neareft the Bale is che: 
quer’d, as in the other Kinds: the Ground Co: 
lour is Yellow, and the Chequering Purple. 
This is a Variety of the Pyrenean Fritillary, 
the Fritillaria foliis imis oppofitis, of Linnaus. 
No particular Rule is needed for the Cultute: it 
will rife from the Séeds of that Species, manag’d 
as we directed in the préceding Number; and; 
when once obtain’d, the Stock muft be encreas’d 
| by parting the Root: for it does not well ripen

The Management of the Flower-Garden, for this W cok. 
) ATCH where thé Leaves of the bulbous } 
; and tuberous-rooted Spring Flowers are 
decay’d, and také up the Roots. 
The early Tulips, the early Crocus’s; and fome 
of the firft Anemorties; together with the Snow- 
drops, and others, will be now in a right Condition 
for it. They muft be clean’d from Mould, and 
{pread upon a Table or Mat in ‘a fhady Place; to 
harden: and then put up for the next Plantation. 
Look to the Boxes of Seedling Flowers, and 
remove them, if that have not been done before, 
into fome Place where they will only have the 
Morning Sun. We have given the Reafons of 
this Management under the feveral Kinds, 
In general, they are to have as much Suti a8 
can be allow’d them during Winter, to warm thie 
Mould, and cherifh their young Roots; and in 
Summer they muft be fhelter’d from its full 
- Beams; tho’ they are open to thofe of the Morn- 
ing: for if they were expos’d at Noon they wou’d 
be parch’d up. As the Weather grows hot, this 
Care is to be taken to remove them, fo that no 
particular Day can be fix’d. but ufually it is full 
Time to do it by this Week. : 
As the Carnations grow toward Flowering, the 
flarth muft be kept moiften’d ; and Infects pick’d 
off, if at any Time found about the Plants. 
~The Auriculas, as they grow paft Flowering, 
mtft be rémov’d from the Stands; and plac’d 
in forme Part of the Ground where they can have 
only the Morning Sun. After this, Care is to 
be taken that no Mots or Weeds grow upon the 
Mould; and thus they are to be left for Sum- 
mer. : 
~ Let the Gardener look over his Borders, sd 
fee where any thing can be added for the Autumn 
Flowering: there are feverdl Plants he may yet 
bring in. The fweet Scabious, Oxeye, Chryfan- 
themum, and many others, will be now fit to 
remove ; but let the Gardener take a good Op- 
portunity of doing it: let him chufe the Evening 
_ | of a fhowery Day, and fhade the Plants abtanmaily 
at Noon, till they are well rooted. 
This Care being taken of the paieibtelas Kinds, 
let him clean and lay in Order every Part of the 
Groiind. Not only the Flower>Bed$ muft be 
kept free from Weeds, btit none fhould be fuf- 
fer’d to remain any where about the Garden. It 
is thé Tirtie when they will be running to Seed; 
and one Plant now left will be the Parent of 4 
thoufand. 
Let the Grafs-Walks be mow’d frequently, for 
they foon run up into Wildnefs, if negleéted at 
this Seafon; and let the Gravel be kept roll’d, 
and clean’d, that every thing may be in Order for 
Service:
