JVork to be done in the Nursery, 



If in the former month could not be com- 

 pleated tranfplanting all the trees in the nurfery, 

 that work may be continued the beginning of 

 this ; for when this is compleated early in the 

 feafon, new fibres will pufli out from their roots 

 before winter; whereas all fuch trees as are 

 planted at the end of this month, or in the two 

 following months, feldom put OJt roots until 

 the fpring: the ground being then rendered 

 cold, vegetation is at a ftand, till the warmth of 

 the fpring puts the juices into motion again. 



This is the time to lay fome mulch upon the 

 furface of the ground, about the ftems of the 

 new planted trees, to prevent the froft from 

 penetrating to their roots, which often deftroys 

 the young fibres, and gready v/eakens, and in a 

 very wet ground frequently kills the trees. 



Continue to carry dung into fuch parts of 

 the nurfery as require it, when it is dry v/ea- 

 ther, and fpread it upon the furface of the 

 ground between the trees, that the rain in win- 

 ter may wafh the falls into the ground, before 

 it is dug up in the fpring. 



Where new plantations are intended to be 

 made in the fpring, the ground fliould now be 



prepared
