'Tr an/planting SeciUing Pines and Firs, 



In this month you may thin and tranfplant fome of the 

 young pines w'hich were railed this feaibn from feed. 



This mUil not be done till the lail week in the month ; 

 for the plants will not be fit to bear removal till about that 

 time, and it fnould bt; performed only in fhowery wea- 

 ther. 



Prepare for them fome beds. about three feet broad, and 

 prick the young plr.nts therein about three inches afunder 

 every way, and then let them be watered. 



They muft be fha-led from the mid-day fun till they have 

 taken root, which is to be done by fixing fome hoops acrofs 

 the bed ; and every funny day let mats be drawn over the 

 hoops about ten o'clock, and taken off again about three 

 or f iur. 



Where this is duly praclifed, the plants will foon take 

 1-oot ; and thofe which arc pricked out at this feafon, will 

 get ftrength by Michaelmas to enable them to endure the 

 winter's cold better than if they were to remain in the 

 feeil-bed. 



The pricking out thefe plants at this feafon (hould be 

 particularly praclifed where the plants Hand very clofe in 

 the feed-bed. 



The Green- House. 



BRING out all fuch plants as are flill remaining in 

 the green-houfe. And let this be done in the iirft 

 week in the month. 



When the plants are all brought out, let them be im- 

 mediately cleared from dead or decayed leaves, and cut 

 out all broken branches and dead wood. 



Then let the earth in the top of all the pots be ftirred ; 

 and, where it was done in the former months, let a little 

 of the earth be alfi now taken out of each pot, and then 

 fill up the pots again dire<^ly with fome new compoft, and 

 give each a little water. 



When this is done, let "the head of each plant be im- 

 mediately watered all over, for this will clean fe the 



•f leaves
