ORNAMENTAL PLANTATIONS. 



IF the pruning of ornamental plantations, or 

 fmgle ornamental or hedge-row trees, is not yet 

 performed, it ought not to be longer delayed. 



See that fuch grounds as are intended for plant- 

 Ing, and which have been under preparation by 

 a crop of oats, be forthwith ploughed over, to 

 lye till fpring. It is of much advantage to all 

 fuch lands to have the Hubble and unreduced 

 turf rotted during the winter, becaufe the foil is 

 much more enriched, than if it were delayed till 

 farther on in the feafon ; neither would the fur- 

 face be fo much meliorated by the winter frofts, 

 Jf it remained unploughed. 



Pitting may aifo now be carried on ; but irj. 

 very few cafes will it be advifable to bury the 

 fward in the pits at this late period of the feafon. 

 If the fward is at all of a coarfe, or even of an 

 adhefive or matted nature, it ought to be pared 

 off and difcarded, as formerly advifed.
