SECT. XX. NOVEMBER 423 



NOVEMBER. 



THOUGH the last be the better month for planting, 

 yet this is more commonly the time adopted : It can- 

 not be now proper to delay it. The leaves not being 

 all off should be no obstacle to the work. 



The object of pleasure should not yet be given up; 

 and let the gardener do all in his power to be cleanly 

 and neat, giving his grounds that proof of good cul- 

 ture, which is so essential to his credit. 



Anticipate winter, so as to put all in order, and fur- 

 nish the ground early ; provide against frost ^ lest it 

 come unawares.
