CLEANING GROUND, &c. 399 



CLEANING THE GROUND AMONG NEW PLANTED 

 TREES. 



We have previouily pointed out, that cropping 

 with vegetables among young ornamental planta- 

 tions made after fallow, trenching or digging, is 

 only intended to induce a more clofe attention to 

 keeping them clean. Such plantations, then, as 

 are to be kept with the hoe, will now require 

 to be attended to. In the performance of this 

 work, hoes of confiderable weight, and not broad 

 in the mouth, will anfwer beft ; becaufe thereby 

 the furface can be more effe&ually ftirred or re- 

 newed, than by ordinary garden hoes. Indeed, 

 in land of a clayey or ftrong nature, hoes of the 

 above defcription are eflential to the proper per- 

 formance of the work of hoeing.
