7O THE PRACTICAL PLANTER. 



At the end of the second season, the plants 

 will have made fibrey roots, and be fit for re- 

 moval to almost any situation. But, if for 

 any particular purpose it be necessary to 

 nurse them longer, in that case they should 

 be transplanted next season, into fresh 

 nursery-rows ; allowing them a little more 

 room, and shortening all roots which have a 

 tendency downwards. 



CHESNUT, AND HORSE CHESNUT, 



Should also stand two years in the semi- 

 nary. Any part of the nursery will suit them. 

 Plant in lines fifteen inches apart, and four 

 or five in line. Their roots may be gently 

 pruned. Here they are to stand two or three 

 seasons, according to their progress. 



Being chiefly ornamental plants, and de- 

 signed for the less untoward situations, they 

 are frequently required of larger size. If so, 

 move them at the end of the second season ; 

 replant them into rows eighteen or twenty 

 inches apart, and eight or nine inches in 

 line; previously shortening all roots which 

 tend downwards, and tapping, as advised 

 above, for Beech and Oaks.
