Sept.]- The Nursirt 439 



There is, however, great advantage in making early 

 plant.ulor.s next month; that is,, in tranfplanting fooa 

 after the eaf decays ; the plants having time to prepare 

 for • akiiig frcfh root befxjre the frcft fets in hard to prevent 

 it: behdes, fuch trees and fhrubs as are tranfplanted 

 early in the planting feafon, will be (o vyell eilabliilied 

 by next fummer, that the drought at that time cannot 

 hurt them. 



But on the oth^r hand,, it will be proper to take no- 

 tice, that tranrplaniing is not novv' yropDfed to be done 

 in geneial, but ordy for fuch deciduous trees andfhrubs 

 vvhofe leaves are abfolutely decayed^- 



Fr/a^ Trees. 

 Such forts of fruit trees v/hofe leaves are now decayed, 

 may alfo be tranfplanted in the latter end of this month,. 

 if necefHiry, to foiward part of this bufmefs at the ear- 

 liell period of autumn planting : but perform no general 

 planting till ne-xt month or Nor ember. 



Stocks to bud or graft oru 



Prepare ground for tranfplanting frnit-tree flocks, 

 fcv gr.ifcing and budding ; either ihDie raifed from (t'zd 

 in titefpring, or from cuttings, layers or fuckers. 



If in the laft week in this month their leaves .are de- 

 cayed,, may begin to plant feme into the quarters or 

 places where they are to remain, efpecially if moift or 

 fliowery weather ; othervvife not to perform any general 

 trarrfpiantation till the following months : they muil be 

 planted in rows two feet and a halfafunder, and the 

 plants to be fet fifteen or eighteen inches diilant in the 

 rows. 



Propagating Trees- and Shrahs by Cutting, 



Now begin to plant cuttings of the young ihoots, of 

 fuch trees and ihrubs as will grow by that method. 



By cuttings, the bell goofeberries and currant-trees 

 are abundantly raifed ; and towards the latter- end of 

 this month is the proper time to begin to plant the cut- 

 tings ; which muft be the fame year's fncots, and the bell 

 length is from about ten to fifteen or eighteen inches; 

 and plant them in a fliady border. See Oftober. 



Plant alfo in the latter end of this month, cuttings of 

 honeyfuckles, that being the beft way to propagate the 

 feveral forts of thefe Ihrubs.
