you cannot judge whether they will be (ingle or 
double ; you mull be careful during the TV inter, to 
preferve them with a covering from bard Frolls 
and Cold North and North-Fall Winds, which 
might poliibly Kill them. And thofe which are 
in Pots are to be fccured from the fame Inconve- 
niences, either in Green-Houfes, ot in fome other

Pot quite oft, and holding the Plant in both 
your hands, carry it gently to the Hole Dug for 
it, where having plac’d it as it ought to be, fill
