536 fHE PLEASURE, OR [Oct. 
Kote. Many sorts of seeds may now be sown, but as I treated on 
the subject of the jYursery at considerable length in March and there 
noticed what kinds might be sown with safety in autumn, 1 refer you 
thereto for particular information. 
Sowing Apple, Crab, and Pear-Pumice. 
The pumice of apples, crabs, and pears, after having been pressed 
for cyder, or perry, may be sown, kernels and all, in four feet wide 
beds, laid on very thick and covered about an inch deep with good 
light earth. In spring the plants will rise freely and produce you 
a good supply, either for stocks, or for making live hedges. See 
page 264. 
THE PLEASURE, OR FLOWER-GARDEN. 
Auriculas, Polyanthuses, and Primroses. 
The auriculas in pots, must now be kept very clean, all decayed 
leaves picked off occasionally, and moderate waterings adminis- 
tered as often as necessary, that the plants may attain due strength 
before winter. 
The choice polyanthuses, and double primroses, are to be treated 
in every respect as the auriculas; the common kinds, may now 
be planted in beds and borders of good ground, where they will 
flower early in spring in tolerable perfection, especially if they have 
a slight covering of straw or light dry litter laid over them dtiring 
severe frosts. 
The seedling plants of each of the above kinds must be kept 
free from weeds, and filth of every sort; and receive regular but gen- 
tle waterings, lo promote their growth and strength as much as pos- 
sible before winter. 
For the methods of preserving the choice kinds of auriculas, 
polyanthuses, and primroses, during winter, see the Flower-Gar- 
den in /November. 
Carnations. 
The carnation layers that were taken off in August or Septem- 
ber, and all other choice carnations in pots, should now be kept 
clean, and duly watered, and towards the latter end of the month be 
placed in a warm situation, there to remain until disposed of as di- 
rected in November. 
The seedlings and common kinds, may be transplanted into 
beds and borders where wanted.
