In thefe Plants too many Flowers muft never be 
faffered to blow at a Time, nor any to ftand 
longer than they are in full Beauty. Therefore 
when there are too many at a Time upon the 
Stem, fome muft be taken off. At all other 
Times no Flower whatfoever muft be permitted 
to remain longer than while in. the full Glory of 
its Bloom; for when they begin to fade they 
alfo begin to fet for Seed. 
In regard to the others; as there are ufually

fome fhould be taken off while in the Bud; and 
thofe left on fhould be fo felected, as to form a 
kind of Head regularly terminating, or covering

The Care of the SEMINARY, for this W ce. 
HIS Week the Gardener is to continue 
his Care of thofe Stocks he has budded the 
_ preceding Weeks; loofening the Bandages of fuch 
_as have. been done eighteen or twenty Days, that 
the Juices may not be ftop’d in their due Courfe : 
and he is to continue the Work , buding Cher- 
ries, Plums and Pears. The Evening of a cloudy 
Day, when the Air is cool and moift, is the pro- 
per Time. | 
Our Caution of being expeditious in the Work 
muft be obferved, the more as the Weather is 
hotter, and lefs favourable. 
The Operation of budding is the  moft deli- 
cate of all that are practifed on Trees, and the 
great Art is to commit the Bud to the Stock in 
as natural a State as poffible. The Air never 
fails to injure it; and this the more, as it is the 
hotter: thefe are the Reafons why a cool, moift 
Kind fhould be chofen ; and an expeditious, tho’ 
careful Hand employ’d. 
The Layers of the feveral Trees and Shrubs 
which was put into the Ground laft Month, will 
require to be very well attended. ‘ 
The Bufinefs is to get them to root before 
Winter; and this mult be affifted by the keep- 
ing them fecurely in their Places, and by repeating 
the Waterings: as the Water wafhes off any of 
the Mould, more muft be fupply’d in its Place ; 
but a great deal of Care muft be taken not to 
difturb that which lies about the Branch; for the
