jS The Pleasure, or [Jan; 



ferent heights and manners of growth of the various kinds 

 be confidered, and placed fo that one plant may not over- 

 bear another. 



The rule is, the taller the plant, the more backward in 

 the border or clump it mufl be placed, and the fhorteft 

 plants fliould be placed nearefl the front, fo as the whole 

 may (land in a kind of theatrical order. 



The diflance which fliould be allowed between plant and 

 plant is at leafl four or five feet; this is to be underflood 

 when they are to be planted in the clumps or quarters of 

 the (hrubbery ; but thofe that are intended to be planted in 

 the common narrow borders mufl be allowed double that 

 diflance at leafl. 



Propagathig hy Layers, 



In open weather may continue to lay the young branches 

 and {hoots of all hardy flirubs, to raife a fupply of new 

 plants, laying them into the earth four or five inches deep,, 

 with the tops out, moil of them will be rooted by next au- 

 tumn, fit for tranfplanting. See the Kurf^ry, . 



T ran/plant Suckers for Fropagution. 



Tranfplan.t fuckers from the roots of rofes, lilacs, fpiraja?, 

 fyringas, and other flirubs, to raife a fupply of new plants j 

 for by fuckers many forts of fhrubs may be propagated : let 

 thefe fuckers be taken off carefully, with roots to each, and 

 planted in rows eighteen inches afundcr ;. they will make 

 good plants in two years time- 



Propagating hy Cuttings, 



Cuttings of the young {hoots of many forts of hardy de- 

 ciduous fhrubs may alfo now be planted in open weather, 

 efpecially towards the latter end of the month, and they will 

 fucced, take root in fprlng and fummer, fhoot at top, and 

 form good rooted young plants by next autumn. 



Care of Grafs IValhs and Lawns, 



Take great care now of the grafs walks and lawns in this 

 garden ; they fliould be kept very near, by frequently poling 

 and rolling them. Poling fhould be performed in open dry 

 weather, which is done with a pliable taper afli pole, twelve 

 or fift-cen feet long, or more, and fliould be ufed to break and 

 fpread the worm calls about, vvhenever they appear on the 

 grafs. After this, let the grafs be rolled with a wooden 



roller,-
