By layers, elms, and limes -will fuccecd remarkably- 

 well, and this is the proper time. 



Now is alfo a proper time to make layers of fuch Torts 

 ofh?.rdy evergreens as will grow by that method. 



This may be pradiied witli good fuccefs on laurullinus ; 

 the layers of this plant will, in the fpace of one year, 

 from the time of laying, be. very well rooted, and fit to 

 tranfplant, provided you take care to lay proper young 

 Ihoots. 



Phiilyreas and alaternufes will alfo grow by layers, 

 but the layers of thefe plants will fometimes be two years 

 before they are tolerably rooted, particularly when not 

 laid till this feafofi. 



But the bell time to lay thefa, and fuch other hard- 

 wooded evergreen plants, is June or July ; and the young 

 ihoots of the fame fammer's growth are then to be chofen ; 

 for many of thefe will often take root the fame feafon^ 

 fo as to be fit to tranfplant by Michaelmas. 



However, it will alfo at this time be proper to maks 

 layers of fuch evergreen flirubs as you defire to propagate ; 

 it is foon done, and is wcrih the trial j there are many 

 orts that will fucceed. 



Obferve it is the laft fummer's (hoots that are the mod 

 proper parts to lay ; and fo accordingly let fuch branches 

 as are bell furniflied with fuch Ihoots be brought down 

 and laid into the earth, by the above method, 



Tvanfplanting Layers. 



Now is the time to take off and tranfplant the layers 

 of all fuch Ihrubs and trees as were layed laft year; let 

 their roots be pruned, and plant them in rows, twelve" 

 inches diltant. 



Propagating Rcfes and ether Shrubs by Suckers. 



Tranfplant fuckers of rofes : it is by fuckers from the 

 root that moll forts of *thefe {hrubs are encreafed ; thefe 

 iVickers being digged up carefully with roots, will make 

 c^ood plants in two years time. 



Lilacs are alfo generally encreafed by fuckers, which 

 Ihrub feldom fails to yield ev.ery year plenty ; and thefe 

 may now, or any time in winter, when the weather is 

 mild, be taken up and planted out in rov/s. 



Many other Hirabs are alfo railed by fuckers from i'ac 

 y 2 roots.
