May. fhady Part of the Greenhoufe, till the Time of 
——— fetting them out with the other Plants. 
Care muft be taken to preferve a Ball of the 
Earth to each; 
be very carefully clofed; and kept in a due Tem- 
per with regard to Moifture, till they are perfect- 
ly rooted in the new Earth. 
This which we have illuftrated in the fingle 
Inftance of Myrtle, holds good in regard to moft 
of the fhrubby Greenhoufe Plants; only that they 
muft be manag’d with more Care as they are in 
their Nature more tender. 
The Geraniums are propagated with great Put 
and the Mould of the Pot muft 
now be propagated by their Cuttings ; but chefs’ May. 
muft lie ten Days upon a Shelf before they are ——~— 
In removing them into their feparate Pots, planted, otherwife they will rot in the Mould. 
This Week therefore let the Gardener take off 
his Cuttings of the Cereus Kinds and the like, 
and lay them to harden, for the fecond Weck — 
in Fune is, in general, the beft Time for plant-' 
ing them. 
One old Plant of each Kind fhould be kept a 
a Breeder. 
The Stem is to be cut of at fix or eight 
‘Inches length the firft Time, fo that only one 
‘cutting can be then had from one Plant; but 
after this there will rife many young Shoots from 
this Way, and the Leonurus, Othona, Sage of | the Part where the old one was cut off; and 
Africa, and the Generality of the others. | 
The fucculent Plants of many Kinds fhould alfo 
thefe when. they are about nine Inches high are 
excellent Cuttings for propagating the Plants.

Let the Surface of the hak. Bed or Box ay

tion muft be ufed not to difturb the young Roots of | 
the Plants: after this, half an Inch Depth of the 
fame Mould mutt be fifted over them; and thus 
they are to be left for the Remainder of the Sum- | 
mer, only taking C are to keep them clear from 
Weeds. | | 
The great Management of the feveral Parts of 
the Ground where Trees and Shrubs are planted, 
confifts only in two Articles, Weeding and Water- 
ing. Weeds grow up apace, and the Earth is 
: tes ad dry : one of thefe two Caufes may, de- 
ftroy many of the tender Kinds ; both will en- 
danger even the hardieft. 
Let the Seedlings be firft look’d er, for they 
are eafieft damag’d. Let the, Beds of thefe be 
weeded always by Hand ; and Care taken not to 
difturb the young Plants. After weeding let them 
be water’d every Evening : and as the Weeds 
had fhelter’d them in fome ‘degtee before, it will 
now be very proper to Aéfand them from the 
Noon Sun by a Reed Hedge.

“Where the Trees are of more Growth, and 
planted out in Rows at due Diftances, nothing | 
is fo proper as digging between them with a 
| Spade. This has all the Advantage of the fa- 
mous Horfehoeing Hufbandry ; and at the fame 
Time that it deftroys Weeds, pit the Trees 
new Vigour. | 
This Week is a proper lon for laying the 
Branches of the Paffion- flower, the Clematis, and 
other climbing Shrubs. — 
The Earth muft be kept moift by frequent 
Waterings 5 and with that Caution the Heat of 
the Seafon will be very ferviceable in promoting 
the fhooting out of Fibres.

and let them be twifted 
and pierced through with an Awl in feveral Parts 
where they are to come under the Mould. Let. 
them be cover’d four Inches ; and peg’d down in» 
two or three Places ; ; that neither the Springynefs : 
of the Branch itfelf, nor the Force of the Winds — 
may endanger the tearing of it up. | 
Many, Layers carelefly manag’d are torn owt

are deftroy’d by fhaking, juft as they are fhoot- 
ing out their Fibres, though they are not raifed
