Of ‘eanjplanting the SEEDLING S. 
HEN the young Plants in the Seed-bed | fo that they will alfo be of a rounded Form 
have fome Strength, let a new Set of | of the eeneral Bottom; and after this the Com- 
Beds be prepared for them, of twice the Big- 
nefs of the firft; and let great Care be taken 
of thefe, for it is there they are to flower. 
poft is to be fpread regularly, and the whole 
Bed made a little rounded on the Top. 
This done, let it be divided by Lines length- 
Let the Ground be chofen ina like Part of | way and, acrofs, and thefe according to the 
the Seminary, but a little more open to the 
Eaft, and let the Shape of the Seeds be marked 
by Lines, and the Ground a away a full 
Spade Depth. 
Let fome Chipings of Stone be ftrewed over 
_ the Bottom, and beat down flat, but lightly 
with the back of a Spade. 
Let the Alleys remain unbroken, and the 
Space of the Bed be filled deep with another 
Parcel of Compoft. This muft not be from 
the fame Heap with the firft, but from one 
of the fame general Nature, and more rich, | 
The Gardener, who has confidered the pre- 
ceding Part of this Work, will very well un- 
derftand this Diftinétion: and if he have ob- 
ferved to prepare the feveral Compofts, he 
will be very ready for the Practice. If the 
Plant he is raifing be one of thofe which re- 
quire a light loofe Soil, there are feveral Compofts 
of that Kind; and he fhould chufe for thefe Beds, 
or in Time make for them, one which is of the 
dame general Nature with that firft ufed, though 
of c fferent Ingredients ; and that with the fame. 
ger +ral Qualities is more fertile. 
wet the Beds be made up with this a eer 
and half deep; and let the whole, inftead of a 
Slope, be of a rounded Form. 
The true Method is to pare away the Sides 
when the Bottom is cleared, that the Head 
of the Work may be rounding like a Gravel 
Walk ina Garden; then the Clippings of Stone 
are to be fcattered equally over that Surface, 
Bignefs of the Plants, farther afunder, or nearer ; - 
but for no Kind they fhould be left thirteen 
Inches diftant ; that there may be Room to clear 
between them. 
In the Spots where the Lines crofs one another, 
open Holes, and chufe a favourable Seafon for 
the removing the Plants: let it be done in the 
Evening, and let the Weather be cloudy, and — 
the Wind in the South, or nearly fo. All cannot 
be done in one Evening; _ but this is the proper 
Weather, and if the Seafon vary, the Work 
muft be fufpended. 
In taking up the Plants, let Care be ufed not 
to injure their Roots. Let the fecond Beds be 
near the firft, that the Fibres may not fuffer 
by the Air in carrying from one to the other, 
| and let no more of the old Mould be taken up 
with them, than hangs juft about the Head 
of the Root. | 
Let the Extremities of the F ibres be trimmed 
off before the Plant is fet in its new Place, 
and let it be fixed upright, and the Mould 
be carefully gathered round it. | 
When as many are planted as can be done cons 
veniently ; in one Evening, let them have mode- 
rate Watering; and be open to the Night 
Air: but an Hour after Sun-rife, draw a Mat ora 
Canvafs at a Diftance over them to fhade them 
from the Sun; and let this remain over them 
till the Time of watering them again in the 
Evening. In this Manner let all the Plants 
| be got into their new Bed.
