The method of fovving the h::rdy kinds is eaiy enough ; 

 nnd many Ibrts of them will grow freely with very little 

 trouble. 



Dig a fpot for them where the ground is dry, and of a 

 locfe ^texture, and in a iituation not too much expcfed ; 

 2nd let the earth be peifeilly well broke;), and make the 

 furface level ; then divide the piece into beds three feet 

 and a half wide. Sow the feeds of each fort in its fepa- 

 rate fpot, or plant them, as ycu fee it moi\ convenient, 

 according to the kinds and fizes c; the diffe.-ent feeds ; 

 and cover them with fine light earth, taking care that 

 each (ort, according to its fize, be covered a proper depth ; 

 fome half an inch, and others an inch, or two inches 

 deep, according to the fize of the feeds, fruits, or nuts.^ 



In cry weather let the beds be frequently fprinkied with 

 water J 'and when the fun is hot, a little lliading with 

 mats will be ferviceable to fome of the motre curious and 

 d».licate forts. 



Propagating Trees and Shrtths hy C tidings. 



Trees and ihrubs of many kinds may be propagated 

 f om cuttings ; this is a good feafan to plant tiiem. 



Dig a fpot for them where the ground is fomewhat 

 moiil, and not ftiif; let the earth be well broken with the 

 fpade, and rake the furface fracoth : then divide the piece 

 into as many parts as you have kinds of cutt'ngs to plant. 



Take off the cuttings with a (harp knife, from the trees 

 or flirubs you want to increafe j let them be of the lafl 

 fummer's Ihoots, cutting them off from aboutfix or eight, 

 to twelve or fifteen inches long, according as you can find 

 them proper for your purpofe : and plant them in rows, 

 each cutting about half way in the ground, and clofe the 

 earth well about them. In dry v/eather let them be 

 watered twice a week, and keep them perfeftly clear frorii 

 v/eeds. 



The cuttings of moil kinds of hardy trees and flirubs, 

 that fucceed by this method, may iHll be planted, where 

 not done in autumn or laft month.

 raifed by this method, fee the Nurfery in Qdober*
