Thefe will fhew all the natural Beauty of the

often changes in that Time, and the different | 
Flowers upon the fame Plant afford a great deal 
of Variety. 
We have obferved, that befide thefe Plants 
raifed for the Summer flowering, it will be pro-

This is a Method the Gardener does not know, 
ing upon the particular Articles of the Gar- | but the Reafons of it may be feen in what we have 
dener’s Profeffion, as we before explain’d to him | faid of Stoves, and Experience fhews its great 
all the general Management. After the Stove 
which produces the Pine-apple in England, the 
forcing Frame for the bringing forward the more 
common Kind of Fruit demands its Place; and 
will eafily be explain’d to the attentive Gardener. 
The Trees muft all have the Advantage of a 
Wall, and their bloffoming is to be brought for- 
ward by artificial Heat: the moft familiar Way 
is by means of Dung: it requires a large Quan- 
tity of that Manure, and the Affiftance muft be 
at Times renew’d; but Dung which has loft its 
Heat, is not deprived of its Virtue. The Dung 
which has been ufed for thefe will anfwer other 
Purpofes, and the real Expence is Jefs than ima- 
gined. 
As the Dung is to be laid behind, there muft 
be a Glafs-work in front of the Wall, and on the 
due Management of thefe depends the whole Bu- 
finefs. 
In order to fet out right, the Gardener fhould 
know that three Years are required to re-eftablith 
thofe Trees in Strength which have been forced 
by thefe Means; therefore whatever be the Quan- 
tity he intends to force each Year, four Times fo 
many Trees, | and the due Extent of Wall for 
them, is to be allowed for the whole. 
On this Principle let him begin the Work; he 
mutt chufe a Part of the Ground which has the 
fall South Sun, and is well defended from all the 
cold Quarters. ~ Here Jet him build a Wall eleven 
Foot in Height, and cover the South Surface with 
Utility ; four Feet and a half from the Bottom 
of the Wall let there be drawn a Line as a Mark 
of the Border. Let this be well dug up, and if 
not naturally a good Soil, let it be improved as 
we have directed on a former Occafion. 
Let a Ledge of firm Oak Board be laid along 
the Line, or outer Edge of the Border; and let 
it be fo thick as to admit a Groove, in which the 
Wood-work of the Frame of fome Glafs Lights 
may move. : 
Let as many of thefe Glafs Lights be made as 
will cover one fourth Part of the Wall; that be- 
ing the Quantity to be ufed at once: and let thefe 
be very well framed. 
The Breadth of each may be at the Pleafure of 
the Gardener, for Convenience of moving, but 
their Height muft be fuch as will reach from the 
Ledge of Oak in front of the Border, to-the 
Top of the Wall. 
At the Top there muft be another Frame-work 
of firm Wood, for receiving the upper Edge of 
the Lights, and this may project five Inches from 
the Surface of the Wall. All muft be clofe as in 
the Greenhoufe, and Stove-work; and there mutt 
be at due Diftances, Ribs of Wood flanting from 
the Top of the Wall to the Frame, to fupport the 
Lights from bending inwards. 
This being prepared, the whole is in Readinefs 
for Service. The two Ends muft be clofed in 
fuch Manner as to admit a Door in each, and this 
muft be made firm, ftrong, and to fhut clofe.
