The florists vade-mecum being a choice compendium of whatever worthy notice hath been extant for the propagation, raising, planting, encreasing and preserving the rarest flowers and plants ... together with The gardiners almanack ... / by Samuel Gilbert.

Of the KALENDAR.

UNder the Number at the top, 1683. you have the Quarters, Change and Full of the Moon; and under that, the Moons and Suns places in the Signes, for that year, entitled ☽ pl. ☉ place.

Under the number 1684. you have the Moons place in the Signes, and time of Sun rise; and the Moons Quarters, Full, and New, over them, as in the other.

Under 1685. what Signe the Moon is in, and Sun setting.

Under 1686. Moons place and Break of Day, for every fifth day of the month.

And in 1687. Moons place, and the Length of the Day for every fifth day of the month.

Now for Length of Day and Night, if it be not the same as set down that you would know, take that of them that is nearest to it: So in that for Break of Day; or if you will be so exact, you may pro∣portion the time betwixt them. Any of these in each month, serves the said month in every year. Thus much said, there needs no more for the rest.

And so have you all that is necessary for a Kalendar: And in the Book, all that is requisite for a Flowerists knowledge, so far as the Experiments hitherto made, will with verity allow.

It would be a grateful and satisfactory Return, and the most acceptable one, if any person knows more to the advantage of a Flowerists management, raising, in∣creasing, or preserving Plants or Flowers, and will inform the Author of the particu∣lars, by Letter to him,

At his house in Kinlet-Parish, near Bewdly in Worcester-shire.
