evergreen trees, which alfo take root better frora 

 young fhoots, than from older branches. 



If this month (hould prove very dry^ you 

 muft continue to v^'ater fuch Evergreens, and 

 other young trees, as were removed the latl: 

 month, other wife they will fuffer greatly. But 

 you fliould do this with caution 5 for many 

 people deftroy their trees by over-watering 

 them. You ihould alfo renew the mulch round 

 the trees, to prevent the fun and wind from 

 drying the ground. Where the roots of new- 

 planted trees are carefully mulched, if they 

 have water once a week in dry weather, it will 

 be fufficient. 



Work to be done in the Flower-GardenJ 



The beginning of this month you fhould take 

 up your choice Hyacinth roots, v;hich are paft 

 flowering, and lay them horizontally in a bed 

 of earth to ripen, leaving their leaves and ftems 

 out of the ground to decay, in the manner di- 

 rected in the Gardeners DlCTIONART^ 

 under the article Hyacinth. 



Shade your choice Tulips, Ranunculufes-, 

 Anemonies, and other curious flowers now 

 blowing, from the fun, during the heat of the 

 day ; v/hich will continue them in beauty much 



longer
