Watering. 



Water new plantations of the tenderer kinds of ever- 

 greens, and fiovvering-flirubs, &c. but in particular, thofe 

 which were lately planted out from the feed-beds; thefe 

 muil not be forgotten in dry weather. 



Once a week will be often enough to water any new 

 plantations, even in the dridl feafon, and to thofe that 

 are but lately planted ; but fuch as have been planted in 

 autumn, or early in the Spring, will require but very little 

 Avatering. 



Cuttings, either of fi^uit or foreft-trees, flowering fhrubs, 

 or evergreens, which were planted laft autumn, or this 

 fpring, muil alfo be watered now and then, in dry weather 



Trauf planting. 



Evergreens, of molt forts, feedlings, and others, may 

 yet be tranfplanted ; but this fliould be done at the begin- 

 ning of this month. 



Pines and firs of all kinds, cedars and cyprefs, and the 

 like kinds, will yet bear removal very well. Likewife 

 phillyreas, alaternufes, and pyracantha; alfo bays, hol- 

 lies, and evergreen oaks ; cillufes and cytifufes j and many 

 other forts of evergreens. 



I'hey fhonld be planted in nurfery-rows ; which for 

 fmall feedlings, may be in rows from fix to ten or twelve 

 inches a^'under ; but for larger plants, fet them in rows 

 two feet and a half, or a yard diilance, and fifteen or 

 eighteen inches in the row. 



As foon as they are planted, it will be of much adva 

 tage to give a good watering, to fettle the earth abc. 

 their roots. 



Likewife any deciduous fhrubs, and trees, of the late- 

 fhooting kinds, that require thinning out or tranfpliait- 

 i-ng, may alfo flill be removed, performing it as early in 

 the month as pofiibie, planting them the above-mentioned 

 diftance in the nurfery rows. * 



For the methods of planting all the above kinds in nur- 

 sery rows, fee the former months. 



Ne-iv-graftea Trees. 

 Examine new-grafted trees ; the clay is fometimes apt 

 to fall off, or crack, fo as to admit air and wet to the 

 grafts.
