 time, have a good watering as foon as they are plan;ed. 



T HE N U R S E R Y. 



BEGIN now," where not done in Auguft, to prepare, 

 dig, and trench ?he ground where you inteiid to 

 plan^ out a nurfery of young frocks for fruit irees; and 

 alfo where you intend to plant out young forefl trees, 

 and all kinds of hardy ihrubs, ,he next month. 



By getting the ground for new plantations ready at 

 this time, it will not only forward the buhnefs greatly,, 

 hut alfo prepare the ground the better to receive the ad- 

 vantage cf rains, to mellow and moiften it, which will 

 be a great advantage to the plants. 



Tranfpla7tt E^uergreens* 



Towards the end of tkis Hionth you rcay begin to re- 

 move or traniplant many kinds of evergreen flirubs and 

 trees, as thofe tranfplanted at this time will freely take 

 root. 



Particularly the common and Portugal laurels, lau- 

 ruilinus, p^illyreas, pyracantha, and arbutus, and fe- 

 veral other kinds. 



Obferving as foon as planted, to water them freely, 

 to fettle the earth clofe to their roots. 



Tranf planting Deciduous Shrubs and Trees ^ 



In the laft week in this month may alfo begin to pre- 

 pare for tranfplanting many kinds of deciduous fhrubs 

 and trees ; being fuch as fhed their leaves in winter. 



Particularly fuch hardy trees and Ihrubs, whofe le^es 

 are at that tirne decayed, may be fafely removed, efpe- 

 cially if the weather be fcmewhat moift. But in remov ■ 

 ing any kinds of ihrubs or trees at this time, let it be ob- 

 ferved,' that if the vveather fhould then be very dry, it 

 v/ill-be neceiTary, as foon as they are tranfplanted, to 

 ^ive them a hearty watering; though if very dry wea-
