 seed-beeis when only from two to three or l ur 

 months old. And, on the- contrary, m «t kinds 

 of bulbous seedlings will not be lit tor planting 

 out in less than one or two years at the shortest 

 periods. 



Another part of these grounds should he al- 

 lotted tor stools of various trees and shrubs, for 

 propagation by layers, by w hich vast numbers 

 of plants of different kinds may be raised. 

 These should be strong plants set in rows three 

 or four feet distance every way : such of them as 

 naturallv rise with tall stf r being planted 



one year, are headed down n'.ar the ground, to 

 force out many lower shoots conveniently situ- 

 ated tor laying them down. Sec Stools and 

 Laying. 



The cuttings, suckers, slips, off-sets, &c. of 

 hardy trees, shrubs, and plants, may be planted 

 out in any convenient part of the ground in 

 shadv borders, &c. ; but for the more tender 

 kinds, some warm sheltered situation should be 

 provided. 



The other principal divisions of these grounds 

 should be left for the reception of various sorts 

 of seedling piants from seminary quarters; as 

 well as for those that arc rased from suckers, 

 lasers, cuttings. Sec. to be planted in rows from 

 one to two or three feet asunder, according to 

 their natures and growths, allowing the tree and 

 shrub kinds treble the distance of the herba- 

 ceous perennial sorts. Of the tree and shrub 

 kinds some aie to be planted for stocks to graft 

 and bud the select sorts of fruit-tfees and other 

 choice plants upon, that are usually propagated 

 uch methods; others should be trained up 

 entirely on their own roots without budding 

 and grafting, as in most forest and oilier hardy 

 tree kinds ;~as well as almost all the sorts of 

 shrubs. 



It is also proper to have some dry warm shel- 

 tered situation in the full sun in Uksc grounds, 

 for occasional hot-beds of dung or tan, tor rais- 

 ing and forwarding iuany sorts of tender or curi- 



ous exotics by seed, cuttings, ,)s, See.

The particular m cultivation arc hilly 



a under the different heads of the plants, 

 and the operations tint are necessary in raising 

 them to the best ad 



As to th - for performing the works of 



ing, planting, Sec. the. are different in different 

 kinds, but the autumn and spring are the prin- 

 cipal seasons : for planting out or removing, the 

 principal season is about October and in April, 

 for tender kinds, especially the . 

 but most other hardy tries and shrubs may be 

 transplanted any time in winter, in open mild 

 weather. The nature of the soil should, how- 

 ever, be regarded in this business. 



The hardy herbaceous librous-rooted plants 

 may be removed almost any time, either in au- 

 tumn or spring, and many sorts even in the 

 summer, liut tor the older or larger plants, the 

 autumn or very early spring are the best periods, 

 which are the only proper seasons for divi- 

 dm«i or slipping the roots of all these kinds tor 

 further increase. 



And lor the bulbous and such tuberous roots 

 whose leaves, like most of the bulbous tribe, 

 decay in the summer, the proper season for 

 planting or removing them is the spring and 

 summer months, when their flower-stalks 

 decay, as well as to separate their off-sets tor 

 increase; which may either be planted again 

 directly, or kept out of ground one, two, or se- 

 \cral months, though it is proper to plant the 

 principal part again in autumn, unless where 

 retained for sale. 8cc 



The succulent perennial sorts may be removed 

 almost any time in the spring, summer, or early 

 autumn, but tlie last is the best. But most kineis 

 of succulent cuttings succeed best when planted 

 in the summer season. 



Methods of disposing the Planls. — In the distri- 

 bution of the different sorts in these grounds, each 

 should be separate: the fruit- forest trees, Sec. oc- 

 cupying spaces by themselves nearly together; all 

 the shrub kind should also be ranged in separate 

 places, allotting suitable spots for herbaceous | - 

 ennials aud tender plants, defended with yew or 

 privet hedges, or a reed fence, Sec. in which may 

 be set s ich plants, in po.s, as are a little tender 

 whilst young, and require occasional shelter from 

 frost, but not so tender as to require to he housed 

 as green-house plants, Sec. AnJ in such places, 

 frames of various sizes may be placed, either 

 to be covered occasionally with glaas lights, oi
