OF GARDENING. 
Cuiusius, from the Number of Petals in the 
——— Flower, and the Country whence it was received, 
named it, Rofa centifolia batavica: the Hundred- | 
— leaved Dutch Rofe; a Name moft others have | 
followed, —C. Baunine calls it, Rofa multiplex | they are rounded, compofed of almoft innume- 
media: the middle double. Rofe. 
Linnavus, who has fought more effential 
Marks of Species, calls this Ro/a caule aculeato 
pedunculis hifpidis, calycibus  femipinnatis glabris : 
the prickly Rofe with hairy Footftalks to the 
Flowers, and {mooth femipinnated Cups. 
The Shrub is moderately large: the. Wood 
firm,. and the Branches Jong and Briekly.

two Pairs of large fair Pinne, which are of a —~——~

The F lowers are very large and beautiful : 
rable Petals; elegantly, though wildly thrown 
and folded together 5 and they are of a delicate

The Charaéters of this Kind are the fame as 
in the common Rofe, but they muft be fought

The Care and Management of phd Ground. | 
NAHE great Care of Weeding and Watering, 
Rolling and Mowing, muft be continued 
with an uninterrupted Hand. This is the Seafon 
‘of enjoying the Pleafures of a Garden, and every 
Thing fhould contribute to that Satisfaction. . : 
The Labour of bringing Flowers to PerfeGtion 
thas been very.great, and it would ‘be highly un- | 
fit that there fhould want a: little Neatnefs now to_

fet them off. . 
‘This done, let the Gardener look to the Layers | 
the ‘has lately made of Sweet-williams, and: Pinks, 
and particularly of Carnations. They iis all re- 
‘quire Care ; but the :beft the moft. 
Let him water thefe once in two Days, gently, 
but thoroughly; and every Time fee that their 
Sticks keep them fecurely in their Places. 
If the Mould be removed by the Watering, 
let him put frefh in the Place, that they remain’ | 
equally and well covered; and if any of them 
do not take kindly, let Ries fhade them from the 
Sun. | 
This Care taken of thofe already laid, he may 
go on with the Bufinefs of Laying others, where 
required, ’Tis beft to. do this fooner, but where 
it has been omitted through Neglect, or where 
the Shoots intended to .be laid have not been 
xeady, it may very well be done now: only as 
_it is a more advanced Seafon, there muft be more 
Attention paid to every Part of the Operation ; 
and particularly to the well covering the ne ge 
and the Waterings. 
_ Though every other Evening may be enough 
for the Layers which have been in the Ground 
fome Time, thofe which are put into the Mould 
now, will require it every Evening; and they: 
will not root freely, if the Seafon be very warm, 
without good Shade, 
We advifed the fowing feveral of the Biennials 
late in the Spring ; thefe will now require tranf- 
planting. There muft be a Bed of frefh Earth 
_dug for them, and they muft be taken up out

Let the careful Gardener look over all thofe | 
Summer ,Plants which produce a great many 
of the Seed-beds in a cloudy Evening, and planted 
in this new Ground at four Inches Diftance, and 
thofe of large Growth at greater: they will require 
to be well and frequently watered till they have 
taken root ; and after that they muft be weeded 
from Time to Time during the Remainder of 
the Summer. 
“In Autumn they muft be remowest into the 
Once in two Days let’ the Gardener gather the 
Seeds of fuch Plants as have been left for that 
he mutt from 
‘The Middle of the Day is the beft Time for 
this, becaufe the drier they are when laid upon 
the Shelf, the better they will harden. 
On the contrary, all tranfplanting at this 
Time of the Year, muft be done in an Evening | 
about Sun-fet ; and the Waterings will take moft 
Effe& if given an Hour or two before that 
Thefe Cautions are proper throughout 
Flowers. ‘The Purpofe is to continue thefe in 
Succeffion, and it mutt be done by preventing ~ 
the ripening of Seeds. 
Where thefe are intended, the Plants are to 
be marked for that Purpofe; and after fome 
good F lowers are blown, the Buds of others’ are 
to be taken off, that the Force of Nature may 
be directed to the ripening of Seeds in thofe: 
This i is an ef fntial and important Point, though 
not enough regarded. 
The Seeds of thofe Flowers which blow firft 
are always ftrongeft; and when too many are 
fuffered to ripen upon one Plant, all will ‘be 
indifferent. Therefore in the fetting for Seeds, 
all thofe Plants which have many Flowers, the 
fix or eight firft blowing fhould be marked.
