ORNAMENTAL PLANTATIONS. 



IN favourable weather, continue the planting 

 out of hedge-row and ornamental trees, in all 

 fuitable fituations ; as advifed laft month. Be 

 careful not to plant them in too damp a fitua- 

 tion at this feafon of the year. Never attempt to 

 franfplant an Evergreen of any kind at this fea- 

 fon. All Evergreens mould be referved to the 

 fpring or autumn months ; which fee. 



The work of preparing ground for ornamental 

 plantations may dill go on, efpecially of trench- 

 ing. It mould not be flattened in the working, 

 but left in ridges, and as whole as poffible. It is 

 defirable that the greatefl poffible extent of fur- 

 face be expofed to the action of the froft, in order 

 the more perfectly to pulverife and meliorate the foil. 



Pruning alfo may flill be performed in cafes 

 where it has not been done in September ; but 

 that is a much more proper feafon for it than this, 

 more efpecially for the gean ; wounds made up- 

 on this plant, either in winter or fpring, being 

 more liable to gum than when made in autumn. 



"In cafes where the young plantations have not 

 yet been digged rough for the benefit of the win- 

 ter froft, it may dill be done when the weather 

 permits.
