directions respecting them will be found in January 

 and in April. Young hedges, planted in spring, 

 may be beeted up with stout plants, as noticed last 

 month. Observe to dig and dung the voids well, 

 in order to encourage the growth of the plants put 

 in at this time, that they may keep pace w^ith the 

 others next season, and that the hedge may be 

 equally good in all parts ; which is a more import* 

 ant matter with regard to a fence-hedge, than if 

 it be merelv a screen. 



Of digging the Shriibhry, 

 If this work have not been completed, as direct- 

 ed last month, let it be got forward without delay, 

 that the ground may be the better fliUowed by the 

 action of the weather in winter. Observe to lay 

 the surface up in a rough manner, as before hinted 

 at, in order to answer this purpose more fully. 



Of pottmg flowering Shrubs for foy^cing. 



This is a very proper season in w^hich to lift and 

 pot shrubs fov forcing, afterw ards to be placed in 

 the green-house, or in the drawing-room. Many

 pose, and are forced with success m the stove, peach- 

 liouse, grape-house, he. Such as roses of many 

 kinds; Persian and Common Lilacs; Syringa; Dwarf 

 Almond; Mezeieon, red and white; Honeysuckles; 

 Hypericum fhitex ; Jasmines ; and many others* 

 according to fancy. 



They should be lifted with good roots, and as 

 much earth as will readily adhere to them ; ai>d
