ORNAMENTAL PLANTATIONS. 



PLANTING OUT EVERGREENS. 



THE whole of the ornamental plantations fhould 

 now be finifhed off by the planting of the requifite 

 Evergreens ; as Silver fir, Weymouth Pine, Spruces, 

 the Yew, the Holly, Laurels, &c. It is of the ut- 

 mod advantage to have thefe moved in damp 

 weather. Evergreens are much more liable to 

 be hurt by fevere drought, than deciduous trees 

 are when expofed to it. 



Tranfplanung Evergreen trees and flirubs in the 

 lawn, mould alfo now be done. It has frequently 

 been pointed out, that trees mould be planted 

 young, and of fmall fize. In the prefent inftance, 

 however, plants of a larger fize may be ufed with 

 propriety, provided they have been properly pre- 

 pared, as directed in the article Nursery. Hollies 

 three feet high may be lifted j but they feldom 

 do, when lifted at a much greater fize. Yews 

 may alfo be lifted of the fame fize. Hemlock 

 Spruce, the Portugal and Common Laurels, to- 

 gether with the Boxtree, may all be removed at 

 about the fame fize. But the Cedar of Lebanon 

 Jhould always be planted out when young, in or- 

 der to fecure its vigour and uprightnefs of ftem.
