208 The Pleasure, (?r [Apr. 



The plants will, if proteded as above, continue green 

 all winter* 



Planting E'vergreens* 



Evergreen fhrubs and trees of many forts, may yet be 

 planted. But this fhould be done in the firll or fecond 

 week in the month. 



The forts which will yet bear removal, are hollies, bays, 

 and yews; laurel, Portugal laurel, and lauriftinus ; phil- 

 lyreas, alaternufes, and pyracantha : cytifufes, andctftufes, 

 of all forts; alfo the arbutus, or ftrawberry-tree ; evergreen 

 calline, and magnolias ; likewife pines, firs, cyprefs, and 

 junipers of all forts ; and cedars, &c. 



Open for each ihrub a wide hole, and let the bottom 

 «f each hole be loofened to fome depth ; then pour a pot 

 of water into each of them, and with your fpade let the 

 water and the earth at bottom be well worked up together ; 

 then bring in the plants, fet them upright ia the holes,, 

 and let the earth be very well broken, and filled in about 

 the roots. Whenall is in, tread it gently round the plant ;. 

 then make the earth at top fome what hollow, in order to 

 contain water. 



Where the plants can, be conveniently talten up, and 

 brought with balls of earth about their roots, it fhould be 

 done, placing them in the holes with the balls entire. 



When all is planted, give a good watering to fettle the 

 earth about their roots ; then lay fome mulch on the furface 

 round each plant ; this will prevent the fun and wind from 

 drying the earth too fall about their roots. 



Stakes fliould be placed to fuch tall flirubs and trees 

 as require fupport; and this fhould be done as foon as they 

 are planted : let the flakes be firmly fixed in the ground,, 

 and fallen the flem of the plant fee urely to them in an; 

 upright diredion.
