OCTOBER, 



THIS is the chief month of the year for planting 

 trees, shrubs, &c. No part of it should be lost, in 

 either working the ground well for the purpose, or 

 putting in the plants without delay : Early planting, 

 if the ground is fit,- is of much consequence. Escu- 

 lents are to have their winter quarters provided them 

 as soon as possible in the month, as at the end of it 

 the weather is often bad. 



Now the virtues of industry and perseverance will 

 be tried to keep the grounds clean from falling leaves, 

 &c. The garden, however, ought yet to be a source 

 of pleasure, and the weather is often still inviting 

 abroad : Surmount impediments.
