The beginning of this month you may sow auricula seeds in cases fill’d
with light earth, and the seeds of the polyanthois in some shady border.
Transplant all sorts of flowering shrubs, which bear the weather; as
roses, jessamine, hony-suckle, laburnum, lelac, syringa, spipeas,
altheas, _&c._ You may make layers of roses, pomegranates, phillyrea,
laurus-tinus, and other shrubs.
Cut the _Spanish_ jessamine within 4 inches of the stem, giving them
fresh earth, likewise give fresh earth to your carnations planted
out in _Autumn_. Towards the latter end sow lark-spurs, hollyhocks,
_Canterbury_ bells, primrose-tree, sweet-williams, annual stocks,
candy-tufts, pinks, _&c._
Make plantations of the lilly of the valley on the side of some shady
bank. Sow orange and lemon kernels in pots; set the pots in hot-beds;
the kernels are to be used as soon as taken out of the fruit. Shift
such myrtles as require large pots, at the same time shaving off the
outside fibres of their root, and if there be occasion, prune their
heads pretty close. Turn and skreen Mould for the use of next month,
and continue to roll gravel-walks after rain and frost.
