400 THE GREEN-HOUSE. [Ma?. 
will in the course of this month be fit to transplant into nursery 
beds, where they should be set at the distance of six inches from 
one another, there to remain to get strength till September or Oc- 
tober, when they should be removed with balls of earth and finally 
planted where intended to flower. 
Supporting Flower-Plants. 
Sticks must now be placed to such flowering-plants as want sup- 
port; in doing this, have regard to the natural size and height of 
each kind, and let the sticks be in proportion; fix them down firm 
on that side in which they can be least seen; for although the in- 
tent is to keep the plants upright and of neat appearance, yet the 
means should be concealed as much as possible, and similar care 
ought also to be observed in tying up the plants. 
Likewise, climbing and trailing plants of every kind should 
have timely support of sticks or stakes proportioned to their re- 
spective growths, and their stems or shoots conducted thereto in a 
proper manner. 
Weeds. 
More than ordinary care should now be taken, to keep all your 
beds and borders free from weeds, but more especially those in 
which small seedlings are growing. 
Grass and Gravel Walks. 
The grass-walks and lawns should now be duly mowed and roll- 
ed, otherwise the grass will soon grow rank and unsightly; and 
where plantain or any other kind of weeds are mixed therewith, 
they ought to be picked or grubbed out, or else many of their seeds 
will ripen, and thereby increase their species, which will overpower 
the grass and render the verdure less agreeable. 
The gravel-walks should also be kept in complete order, pre- 
serving them always free from weeds, and having them occasionally 
swept to clear away all loose litter, and likewise well rolled, gene- 
rally once a week, but particularly after heavy showers of rain, 
which will consolidate them, and render the surface smooth and 
even. 
THE GREEN-HOUSE. 
Air and Water. 
During the first ten days of this month, and in the middle states, 
the last week of April, the doors and windows ought to be kept open
