- *^* Some of these, though they attain, in the course of 

 Tears, considerable height, may be occasionally considered 

 as large drubs, instead of trees, and planted accordingly : 

 Skilful pruning will help to keep large shrubs down, and lead 

 others to mount. 



OBSERVATIONS ON PARTICULAR TREES. 



Andromeda tree should have a dry soil, and shel- 

 tered situation: protect first winter after planting. 



Arbor vita, though both sorts are in estimation, 

 yet the Chinese is most ornamental. Naturally they 

 are of large growth, and hardy, yet sometimes the 

 Chinese sort is kept in pots, as an agreeable compa- 

 nion (for a time) of other exotic evergreens. f 



Arbutus may be propagated from the first young 

 shoots of the summer, planting them in pots, and put- 

 ting them in a moderate hot-bed, (rather of bark) 

 covering close with a hand-glass that is air tight; and 

 thus most tender shoots of woody plants, which are 

 found difficult to strike, may (most probably) be 

 twade to grow, as the bay, celastnts y cypress, &c. 

 They may be tried on a warm border, keeping the 

 earth cool, and the glasses close. If the cuttings 

 are planted just within the glass, watering well 

 round the outside will reach them, and thus they need 

 not be uncovered: If the glasses are taken off for 

 watering, it is not (however) material, if they are 

 carefully fixed close again. As soon as the cuttings 

 appear clearly to grow, air must be given them. See 

 next list.
