FOREST PLANTATIONS. 



IN the lafl month, it was fuppofed that fome 

 pf the low-fituated and retentive-bottomed land 

 might not then be fit for planting. No fuch hin- 

 derance, it is prefumed, will now remain. Let 

 therefore fuch lands be now furniihed with the 

 deciduous kinds of trees without delay. 



This is alfo the proper feafon for planting out 

 firs and evergreens. Attention mould be paid, 

 that no greater number of plants be lifted from 

 the nurfery than can be conveniently planted on 

 the fame day. Damp weather is the bed for re- 

 moving and planting out all forts of evergreens. 

 When the weather is very dry, and the plants rife 

 deftitute of earth at their roots, they fliould be 

 puddled, as recommended under the article Nur- 

 sery for lafl month ; which fee. In ail cafes, care 

 ftiould be taken not to {hake off any adhering 

 earth from plants at the time of planting.
