RELIEVING VEGETATING SEEDS. 



As noticed laft month, this operation is fome- 

 times required. When it is fo, it is always a 

 great misfortune to the young plants, However 

 carefully it be performed, it will prove the de- 

 ftruftion of^ many of the young trees. It fhould 

 therefore be reforted to only in cafes of great 

 urgency. 



WATERING VEGETATING SEEDS. 



Very often, at this feafon, fevere droughts fet 

 in, which are very prejudicial to briermg firs and 

 other fmall feeds. But although drought is a 

 very great diftrefs, watering feldom or never is of 

 much benefir ; the drought of the following day 

 generally leaving the ground in a worfe ftate af- 

 ter the watering than it was in before. Indeed, 

 unlefs the watered ground can be fhaded from 

 the powerful rays of the fun through the day, 

 and from the probably frofty winds of the night, 

 watering had much better be omitted. In fandy 

 foHs, which are not apt to batter, watering is of 

 moft ufe to the vegetating plants.
