Aug.] The G r. e e n-Ho u s eJ 411 



Towards the end of this month, it will be time to be- 

 gin to trench fuch pieces of ground as are to be planted 

 in autumn with any kinds of trees and fhrubs ; and in 

 order that the ground may be the better improved by the 

 rains, fun and dew, it will, in digging, be moil proper 

 to lay it up in high ridges 



Budding, 



Now go over the flocks that have been budded three 

 weeks or a month, and let the bafs be untied, that the 

 •parts about the bud may not be pinched. 



Budding may alfo Hill be performed, but it mull be 

 done in the beginning, or middle of the month at fur- 

 theft, otherwife it will not fucceed. 



iZhsrry Stofies. 



Preferve cherry flones for fowing, to raife ilocks for 

 budding, and grafting. 



The Green-House. 



Grcen-Houfe Shrubs 



NOW let all fuch green-houfe fhrubs as are in want 

 of larger pots, or a refrefament of new earth be 

 ihifteJ, this being as good a time as any in the wholvi 

 year for doing that work. 



For that purpofe provide aquantity of frefh earth, and 

 fome proper fized pots or tubs; thefe being ready, let 

 the plant be taken up out of its pot with the ball whole, 

 then trim off thofe matted and mouldy roots, which 

 fpread about the furface of the ball, and pick away part 

 of the old earth. 



Then fet the tree in the large pot, and fill it up pro- 

 perly with the new compofi:, and give a m.od crate v/atcr- 

 ing ; fo proceed with others, and remove the pots or tubs 

 where the plants can be fnaded fornewhat from the fun, 

 and fheltered from violent winds.

culent plants that want larger pots ; fuch as euphorbiums, 



T 2 fedums.
