Examine alfo the trees which were budded lafl fummer ; 

 all Ihoots from the flock mull be conllantly taken ofF as 

 they are produced, for thefe would draw the nouriihment 

 from the bud. 



All fuckers from the roots both of young grafted and 

 budded trees, Ihould alfo be rooted out. 



Defiroy Weeds hetiveen the Rows of Trees. 



The ground between rows of all kinds of young trees 

 and fhrubs, Ihould now, at all times, be kept extremely 

 clear from weeds. 



Thefe now rife abundantly, and very fafc in every part ; 

 but whenever they appear between the rows of trees and 

 fhrubs, there is nothing eafier than dellroying them at a 

 great rate, by applying a Iharp hoe to them in dry days. 



The Green-House. 



Bringing out the Green-houje Plants* 



TOWARDS the middle of this month, if mode- 

 rately fettled warm weather, may begin to remove 

 many of the more hardy kinds of green-houfe plants into 

 the open air. 



The myrtles, oleanders, geraniums, and amomum 

 Plinii, may be fafely ventured abroad at that time ; and 

 alfo the tree-worm\\'ood, Indian bay, olives, and the large- 

 magnolia; candy-tuft-tree, fhrubby ailer, jafmines, cif- 

 tufes, and double Indian nailurtiums ; and many other of 

 the like hardy plants. 



The orange, lemon, and citron-trees, and all the other 

 tenderer kind of green-houfe plants, fhould alfo be brought 

 out now ; but this mull not be done till fome time between 

 the twentieth and laft day of the month ; or if cold unfet- 

 tled weather pre\'^il, let them remain till the beginning 

 of June. 



Let all the .plants in general, when firil brought out of 

 the green-houfe, be placed in a warm fituation ;. that is, 

 let them all be fet where the wind can have but little 

 power ; and after they have flood there about ten or 

 twelve days, they will be fomewhat hardened to the open 

 6 air.
