Propagate Trees and Skruhs ky Cuttings. 



This is the time ^o plant cuttings cf all futh hardy 

 trees, and (hrubs as will grow by that method^ and which 

 is not a few. 



One in particular among the reft, is that well-knowR 

 fhrub the honeyfuckle, all the fores of which will grow 

 freely bycuitings,andth}sislliilagood time toplantthem. 



The goofeberry and currant-trees are alfo raifed by cut- 

 tings, and this is as good a time as any can be toplantthem. 



Cuttings of all forts planted a year ago, being rooted, 

 and have Ihot at top, may now be tranlj^lanted in wide 

 nurfery rows, where required for training for the pur- 

 pofes intended. 



Sq-m Haiv and Hclly- berries, i^c. 



This is the time to fow haws, holly, hips, and yew- 

 berries. 



Beds wuft be prepared for thefe berries three feet and 

 a half or four feet wide ; the berries are to be fown fe- 

 parately, and covered an inch or two deep with earth. 



But it is the pradUce of many to prepare the holly- 

 berries and haws, for vegetation, a whole year before 

 thev fow them, becaufe they feldom come up till the fe- 

 cond fpring after fowing : it therefore is cufcomary to 

 • bury them in the ground for one year and then fow them. 

 The method is this : 



In a part of the garden where the ground is frm and 

 dry, mark out a trench one or two feet wide, the length 

 in'proportion to the quantity of berries intended to be 

 buried,- and dig it full twelve inches deep ; but in per- 

 fectly dry ground, eighteen inches or two feet will be 

 better, making the bottom level ; then lay the berries 

 of an equal thicknefs, and cover them with the earth at 

 leafr fix inches deep below the fur face, and raifing it 

 above the furface in a ridge like a grave, making the 

 ridge rather wider than the trench, in order to threw oit 

 the wet the better from it. 



Here let them lie till that time twelvemonth, v/hen 

 they are to be taken up and fown in beds, as above 

 * mentioned, and the plants will come up in the fpring 

 following.

 Sow acorns, this being the mofl: proper time to put 

 them into the ground ; and they fiiould be all fown by
