the plants in fine, friable rich foil, fomewh'at fhel- 

 tered. 



The replanting of deciduous hedge-row trees 

 in the nurfery mud not be left undone beyond 

 this month ; becaufe, in fuch fituations as are fit 

 for them, the growth begins more early than in 

 the more expofed quarters of the nurfery. 



The diftances at which they mould ftand at 

 their removals, mufl be regulated by their refpec- 

 tive ages and growth. But in no cafe fhould they 

 be crowded. A properly raifed young tree mould 

 refemble in its trunk, as well as in its branches, 

 a fiender cone, gradually diminiihing in diameter 

 from the root upwards, till it terminate in a point : 

 and this object can never be gained, if the plants 

 be placed in a crowded manner in the nurfery. 

 If the plants to be removed be three feet high, 

 they mould occupy fquares of eighteen inches at 

 lead j if four feet high, fquares of twenty inches; 

 if five feet, fquares of two feet ; and fo forth, ac- 

 cording to their heights. 



If plants intended for hedge-row and detached 

 ornamental trees are raifed with attention to the 

 above hints, they will be found richly to recom- 

 penfe the labour, by their increafed advancement 

 in growth and handfome appearance.
