THE beginning of this Month is the proper season for Success in Budding of Orange-Trees Therefore Inoculate seedling Stocks of about three or four Years growth and to have good Buds for this purpose take off the head of an old Orange-Tree that is of a good kind which will furnish you with the best by making large Shoots About the 24th of this Month is a proper and very safe Season to remove and lay your Perennial Greens Lemmons Oranges Myrtles Oleanpers Phllyreat Pomgranates Monthly Roses Arbutus Jesamines and other choice Shrubs and such as will endure the Frost peg the Shoot and Branch of the last Spring in very fertile Earth water them as you see occasion during the Summer and when this Time comes again the next Year you may transplant or remove them into fit Earth set in the shade with moderate Moisture but not too much lest it rot the young Fibres and then at three Weeks end place them in a more Airy Station but not till fifteen Days after you ought not to venture them in the Sun especially 〈◊〉 hot In SEPTEMBER Things proper to be done c. PLANT Irish-chalchidon and Cyclamen cotinue to sow Phillyria and Alternus and Anuals that are not impaired by the Frost Priune Pines and Firr-Trees somewhat after the Equinoctial if it was not done in March for I prefer that Month as a proper Season About Michaelmas later or sooner as the Weather proves reasonable fair without Fogs or great Mists is a proper Time to retire your tender Greens c. observing at the same Time that they be dry on the Leafs c. as Lemmons Oranges Indian and Spanish Jessamine Dates Ledon Clusi Aloes Sedums Oleanders Babha-Jovis Citysus Lunatus Amomum Plin Choemeleatricocces put them into your Conservatory with fresh Mould stirred amongst that which is on the Top of their Cases and Boxes then add rich and well consumed Soil for their better nourishment during the Winter but you need not shut the Doors and Windows of the House till the cold is much more increased and by its sharpness gives you warning to do it As for Myrtles they may be left Abroad till the latter end of October In OCTOBER Things proper to be done c. IN this Month you may sow Cyprus if the Frost be not rise but do not much clip your Shrubs of any kind sow Alternus and Philligra-seeds and look after your Green-House to place all Things in good Order and clear them of dead or decaying Leafs or any other Annoyances and remove such Things as are yet Abroad according to their Degrees bearing Cold into shelter and put Dung to the Roots of such as are yet left Abroad but not too much nor too hot lest it injure them to too much Heat so that they will be the less abler In NOVEMBER Things proper to be done c. THIS Month cover your young exposed Ever-Greens with Straw or Hawm if the Winds be very sharp lest they be dried up and spoiled and quite enclose your tender Plants Peranual-greens and choice Shrubs if the Frost come on in your Conservatory excluding particularly
the cold Winds and if they there appear very dry and not freezing you may water them with Water qualified with Cow or Sheeps dung some what warmed Plant Roses Althea-frutex Citysus and sow stony Seeds You may now Plantt Forrest trees for Walks to make a curious green Shade in their proper Seasons either in Walks or Avenues and cover your tender Greens in the Nursery with Mattresses and warm Straw In DECEMBER Things proper to be done c. IN this Month little can be expected to be done as to Gardening and therefore may be termed to the careful Gardener a Month of rest wherein he ought to take care of himself in providing wholesome nourishing Diet warm Cloaths and good Fires yet let him look after such Things as yet require his Care especially in the Green-House or Conservatory which now will prove an easie Task the main being to keep the Windows and Doors well closed and lined with Mats or other Conveniencies to prevent the piercing Air entering thro' the Crevices for now the Orange-Trees are most likely to be in danger and therefore if the Weather be extream assist them with the kindly Heat of Fire but not too much for that does more Harm than Cold. Set dropping iipe Barberries and Pine-kernels in a good mellow Mould and see what else is requisite and so I conclude the Year with my Wishes that the honest Gardener's Undertakings may be always successful and prosperous The GREEN-HOUSE AND CONSERVATORY For the Preservation of Plants Shrubs Choice Flowers c. from Winds Frost or cold Airs that would otherwise Chill and Destroy them GREENS that last all the Year are for the most part not to be kept without great Care sometimes abroad and sometimes in the Conservatory and since few Books give any satisfactory Account of to accommodate the English Gardener I conceived it highly necessary to place such Rules and Directions on that Occasions at the latter End of this Work as cannot chuse but make it more acceptable to the Ingenious than any that have gone before it That a Green House or Conservatory to preserve choice Greens and Flowers from the nipping Winds or chilling Frosts I cannot conceive any that deal this Way are Ignorant tho' some are for having it in one Fashion and others in another and indeed I shall not undertake to contradict Fancy in this Matter yet there remains something to be said that many are ignorant of and being â—nown and put in practice may highly conduce to their Advantage Consider then that free breathing Air is that which continues the life and grotwh of Plants as well as Animals and where they are stifled and kept in too close tho' with Heat and subterranean Fires as Stows c. in the cold Weather as many use for want of free Air to breath they express a Languor by the Parching of the Brims of the Leafs and sometimes a Decay and Dryness of the whole Leaf which could they have moderate Heat and Air to pass in and out moderately for their Refreshment would be remedied and this can be done no better than by Earthen Pipes conveniently placed some in a Stow set on the Out-side of the House conducting Heat and others conveniently placed to let out the stagnated or sulphurous Air that sickens the Plants and let in that which is fresh and pure to revive and refresh them that they may continue and flourish at least keep their lively Verdure and this is far better than Pans of Charcole or Stows within that corrupt and stifle the Air and such a Stow may be erected with a Chimney or Funnel a Fire hearth and an Ash-hole at a moderate Price and the Expence of much less Fewel than the others the Pipes to let in Heat need not exceed three and one or two of them as Occasion requires may sometimes be stopped or less or more Heat is requisite the Season being very sharp or relenting and so may you order those of the like Number to let in and out the Air. In this House you must have your Door and Windows to the South and the Door that is placed in the side of it requires a Porch with another Door matted to keep the Crevices and shutting close so that going in or our one Door may be shut upon you before the other is opened that the cold Air may be kept out that otherwise would rush in with much Violence As for the Windows they must have Wooden-Shutters as well as Sashes of Glass well framed in that when the Cold is extream they may be totally shut up and when there is relentings or Sun-shiny Days the Wooden-Shutters my in the Day-time by degrees be opened to let in the Sun and Air more freely but not the Glass ones be drawn up unless it proves very warm and Sun-shiny and then not too suddenly but with Caution and Discretion that the Plants may take it kindly and not find too sudden an alteration in the change of the Air which may prove very prejudicial So range your Pots and Cases wherein your choice Plants and Flowers stand and each may receive a Benefit of Air and warmth according to its Degree but not so near as to interfere or intangle with one another for then they will keep in the contaminated thick or gross Air and there will be no free breathing amongst them as in this Case there ought to preserve a Vivacity of Liveliness in them The Greens require a little watering in the Conservatory or Green-House and many of them none as Aloes and the like because it makes them sickly and fading the Air being sufficient ro moisten them especially in the cold season and when by the curling and withering of the Leafs you find a necessity to do it warm the Water and mix it a little with Pidgeons or Poultry's-Dung pour it on moderately some distance from the Roots that it may leisurely soak to them and not in abundance Take off such Leaves as wither or grow dry and stir the Stalk or Bole of the Plant gently that the Root may be a little loose to have the freer breathing of Air open the Mould a little on the top and sprinkle a fresh Mould on the surface and over that a small scattering of warm Dung and if any Weeds or Grass grow up take them away smoothing over the place again keeping such a distance between your Rows of your Pots or Cases placed on Forms or Stools Tables or the like that you may easily pass between them to do any Office that is required for the Commodity or Advantage Spread at the bottom of your Green-House Wood-Ashes finely sifted and over them lay dryed Rushes and they will suck up the Damps apt to arise out of the Earth and add a considerable warmth to the place Let the Ceiling be low to reflect the Heat that proceeds from the Stow and hang it about with Linsey-wooles-y Baye or some such course Stuffs which will take off the Cold that is subject to penetrate the Walls and â—vent their Mustiness often occasioned by sweating â—ter Frosts or some relentings of Frosts foggy Weaâ—her or immoderate Rains when the Air is thick and gross and likewise add a considerable warmth for the preservation of such Things as are the most tender In matters not at which end of your House you erect your Stow whether East or West so it be in a convenient place It may be made of Stone or Brick to be erected foursquare of the ordinary size of a single plain Furnace like that of a Chymist used sn his Laboratory usual there for common Operation consisting of an Ash-hole and Fire-hearth which may take up about 2 Foot from out to out Yet so it must stand that the Grate or Fire-hearth may be about a Yard above the Floor or Area of the Green-House that thereby the Heat coming thro' the Pipes conveniently placed may be the more leveller and evener dispersed to the middle bottom and top of the House that every part may participate as much as is convenient of it and in this good ordering even in the Cold of Winter you will perceive many of your Greens to shoot out and flourish some Blossom and some produce Fruit many Flowers blow to admiration as if by this reviving Heat and good Management an Artificial Spring or Summer was produced which will much redound to the Credit and Profit of a Gardener especially such as manage these Affairs for the Nobility and Gentry of the Kingdom who are curious in them and take pleasure to see what they cannot reasonably expect at such a Season Thus Reader I hope I have fulfilled my Undertaking in omitting nothing that might materially conduce to the well ordering of an Orchard or Garden pleasant and profitable to the Owners in all their Particulars and Niceties so that an indifferent understanding Man may reach and comprehend the Instructions laid down which being put in practice as the Seasons are specified cannot but render a Gardener acceptable FINIS
