SECTION XX, 



A CALENDAR. 



THE general work of gardening has been pretty 

 fully fpoken of, in the parts concerning the for* 

 maiion, cultivation , and management of a garden, propa- 

 gation, &c. The particular culture of efculents, herbs y 

 fruits, and fowers, has been treated in the feftions ap. 

 propriated to each. It therefore remains to give here 

 little more than fhort hints, by way of aftlflmg recol- 

 lection, and to make proper references to the pages, 

 where farther inJlruSfions may be found. 



What is faid concerningymfr and fowing, page 57 to 

 64, mull be attended to. It need only be farther ob* 

 ferved, that as to the feafon moft proper to do the feve- 

 ral works of gardening, it is not the fame (exaftly) every 

 where, as foil and fituation make a difference. — The 

 time mentioned in this calendar isi, that which the au- 

 thor judges will be found moft generally right in the 

 midland counties, as the extremes of north and fouth 

 make a great difference in this bufmefs, which muft be 

 allowed for. 



The work of gardening being very multifarious, it 

 would be a practice not unworthy, even the (kilful 

 gardener, to make it a rule\ once a week, to confider 

 what is to be done the following week ; and to make 

 memorandums accordingly, numbering them in the 

 erdejr he would have them performed. — Thus he would 

 never be at a lofs, what to fat himf. If, or his labourers 

 about, and the mortification of omiilions, or appear-
