 the method of fovving each fort is fully inferted 

 in the Gardeners Dictionary. 



You may now tranfplant moft forts of ever- 

 greens and exotlck trees, provided the feafon 

 proves favourable; otherwife you had better 

 defer it until the beginning of the next month, 

 always obferving to do it when the wind is 

 fouthwardly, and when there is a profpedl of 

 fome rain in a fliort time 5 for if it fliould prove 

 dry weather, and the wind eaftwardly, it would 

 not be fafe to tranfplant them. This work 

 Ihould be deferred till toward the end of the 

 month, for fear the (liarp eaftwardly winds with 

 frofty nights (hould return after this is per- 

 formed, which would endanger the plants. 



This is the feafon for planting cuttings of 

 feveral forts of exotick trees and fhrubs, which 

 generally fucceed beft, when they are planted 

 juft before they begin to fhoot ; but if the fea- 

 fon fliould prove dry, they muft be frequently 

 watered, and the furface of the ground cover- 

 ed with mofs or mulch, to prevent the fun and 

 air from penetrating deep into the ground, 

 which is apt to deftroy fuch plants as arc not 

 well rooted. 



Graft all forts of fruit trees in this month ^ 

 and toward the latter end you may graft Hol- 

 lies, and inaxch any of the hardy exotick trees
