As alfo Medlars, Services, Almonds, fome 

 Grapes, where they have been carefully pre- 

 ferved, Cheftnuts, Walnuts, and fmall Nuts. 



Work to be done in /^^ Nursery. 



In this month and the next it is very unfafe 

 to tranfplant trees ; therefore little can be done 

 in the nurfery, except carrying in dung where 

 it is wanted 5 and in mild weather to prepare 

 the ground, where trees are defigned to be 

 planted in the fpring. 



Obferve now to lay mulch about the ftems 

 of new planted trees, where it has been omitted 

 in the former months j otherwife the froft will 

 enter the ground, .and pinch all the new fibres, 

 whereby the trees will be greatly weakened. 



In frofty weather look well to fuch nurferies 

 as are expofed to hares, rabbets, G?<:. for in fuch 

 feafons thefe animals will be apt to bark young 

 trees, and fpoil them. 



If the weather is mild, continue to dig be- 

 tween the rows of trees in the nurfery, wher^ 

 ^t has not been already done; obferving, as 

 was before direfted, not to injure their roots. 



Be careful alfo to fecure fuch young exotick 



trees as have not ftrength to refift th» cold of 



our cjimate, by laying rnulch round their ftems,
