planting E-vergreens. 



About the middle or any time in this month, if mild 

 weather, you may tranfplant phillyreas, yews, evergreen- 

 oaks, junipers, hollies, firs, cyprefs, cedars, laurultinus, 

 p'^Tacantha, and arbutus, with moil other kinds of ever-

Directions for planting the -various forts of Shrubs. 



In planting and decorating the clumps and quarters in 

 the ihrubbery, care fhould be taken to difpoie the moil 

 curious forts of flowering-Hirubs and plants, in fuch a 

 manner, as that they may be eaiily feen from the walks 

 or lawns near where they are planted. They ihouid not 

 be planted fo clofe together as is commonly pradifed, nor 

 fnould they be fufFered, as they grow up, to interfere 

 with each other ; for that would deprive you of the plea- 

 fure of feeing the moil valuable ihrubs to advantage. 



When the more curious kinds of Ihrubs are to be con- 

 veyed to any great diilance, great care fhould be taken tc 

 pack them well; they fhould be tied in bundles, and 

 their roots well packed round with flraw, and every bun- 

 dle packed up in mats. 



Care of Grafs Walks and La-ivns. 



Grafs walks and lawns ihouid be kept extremely clean. 

 Now the feafon for mowing begins to approach, pole and 

 roll them once or twice every week ; a wooden roller is beil 

 to roll with immediately after poleing, to take up the 

 worm-calls; and when the grafs is clean and free from 

 worm-cails, it ihouid be rolled occafionally with a heavy 

 iron or flone roller, to make the bottom firm and fmooth. 



The edges of the grsJs-walks^ or lawns, ikould be all 

 neatly cut even with an edging-iron about the end of this 

 month, which will be a vaU addition to the n.eatnefs of 

 them. 



Laying Turf 



Grafs-turf may be laid any time this month, where want- 

 ed, either to make new, or mend old work, for it will grew 

 freely with little trouble; obferving to beat it well, and
