 of the ground until the beginning of Auguft, 

 when they muft be planted again, 



Tranfplant fuch forts of evergreen trees and 

 (hrubs, which have not begun to (hoot, thefe 

 may be fafely removed, provided the air is 

 clouded, and there is a profped of rain in a 

 fiiort time \ but if the ground is very dry, 

 where they are to be planted, large holes fhould 

 be opened in proportion to their fize where they 

 are to be placed, and a large quantity of wa- 

 ter poured into each, fo as to render the ground 

 like pap or mud \ then place the trees therein, 

 and after the earth is filled in about the roots, 

 make the furface hollow like a bafon, to con- 

 tain water ; and cover it v/ith mulch, to pre- 

 vent the fun and air from penetrating the 

 ground to dry their roots s and repeat watering 

 the trees once a week, provided the weather 

 fliould prove dry. 



Where Phiilyreas, Alaternufes, Laurels, 

 Lauruftinufes, or other hardy evergreen trees, 

 are grown rude, they may now be reduced to 

 the figure you intend, by cutting their branches 

 in clofe to the flems; and when they fhoot, 

 they may be trained to the order dcfired.
