OTHER WORK TO BE DONE IN THE NURSERY* 



Continue the digging between the lines of fuch 

 trees as are intended to ftand for another feafon. 

 This work mufl be all performed in the courfe of 

 the month. All weeds mould be removed from 

 fuch places as are not to be dug, that thefe ene- 

 mies may not get too powerful. 



Such places as are deftined for receiving Fir 

 feeds, mould be dug and laid up as rough as pof- 

 fible, in order to prepare the foil the more com- 

 pletely for the intended crop. 



Where the pruning of any deciduous trees has 

 been, omitted, it should be forthwith done ; but 

 on no account fhould a knife be put upon the Sy- 

 camore, or the Birch, at this feafon ; for they 

 would probably bleed to death. Indeed, the prun- 

 ing of any trees fhould not be carried on after this 

 month, till, at fooneft, the firft of July. 



If the Lime-tree and other layers which were 

 taken off in October or November, are not plant- 

 ed out, it fhould be forthwith done. If it be de- 

 layed beyond this time, the future growths will 

 be much the worfe for the firft year at lead. If 

 there are feedling Limes to plant out, they fhould 

 not be delayed any longer. Few trees take worfe 

 with very late planting than the Lime, either in 

 the character of layers or feedlings.
