3^6} The Nursery. fjuly. 



Examine the trees 'ujhich ivere budded lafi Summer. 



Look over the trees wich were budded lafl fummer^ 

 and let all fhoots that arife from the flock, beiides the 

 bud, be difplaced ; for thefe would rob the proper Ihoot 

 of fome nourifhrnent. 



The buds will now have made vigorous {hoots, if any 

 feem to require fupport, let them now be properly fe- 

 cured, either with ftakes, or tied to the part of the ilock 

 left above the bad, when headed down. 



Grafted Tress. 



Grafted trees fhould alfo be at times looked over, iri 

 order to difplace all fuch ftioots as are at any time pro- 

 duced from the Hocks. 



Examine alfo if any of the grafts have made fuch vi- 

 gorous Ihoots as to require fupport, and let them be fe- 

 cured. 



Tr anf plant fee dling Firs, 



This is now a proper time to tranfplant fome of the 

 choiceft kinds of feedling firs and pines. 



But this is to be underftood principally where ftie 

 plants ftand very thick in the feed-bed; and it is better 

 (though at this feafon it is attended with trouble) than to 

 fuffer them all to remain in the feed-bed till the fpring; 

 becaufe, where they Hand very thiok, they would be apt, 

 to draw and fpoil one another - 



1'hey will fucceed very well when tranfplanted at this 

 time, but only require much care to fnade and water them. 



Beds muft be prepared for them about three feet broad : 

 the furface mull be raked even, and^henput in the plants 

 about three inches a- part, and let them be immediately 

 gently watered. 



The plants mufl be duly fhaded every day from the 

 fun, until they have taken root; and this muft not be 

 omitted, otherwife the fun wauld burn them up. 



Let thern be alfo duly fupplied with water till they 

 have taken frefh root. The waterings ihould, in dry 

 weather, be often repeated, but always very moderate. 



They will focn take root, provided they are duly 

 treated as above direfted ; and will get fome ftrength by 

 Michaelmas to enable them to endure the cold in win- 

 ter ; which they generally do bettt r than thofe which 

 are permitted to remain in the feed- bed till March.
