When the fiirubs are pruned, let the grou^id be then 

 neatly dug one fpade deep, and take up all fuckers fent

Tranfplant hardy Flonjuering Shrubs, 



Tranfplanting may ftlU be continued in Open weather 

 among the hardy kinds of flowering fhrubs and trees. 



Particularly rofes, honeyfuckles, fyringas, lilacs, and
