in the Propagation of fome Ever-Greens from Seed, as Yew, 
Holly, &c. you mutt obferve that their Seeds, don’t come up 
till the fecond Spring after gathering. Therefore ‘tis beft to 
preferve them the firft Summer in Sand, as directed for the 
Beech, Hornbeam, &c. andto fow them in Sced-Beds the Spring 
afrerwards in the fame Manner. 
Toraife Ever-Greens from Cuttings, ’tis beft to dothat Work 
in Oéfober, placing the Cuttings in Chopp’d Trenches about 
a Foot Diftance from one another, and in the Rows three or 
four Inches afunder. The Length of Cuttings fhould never ex- 
eed fifteen Inches, and mult be planted about eight or ten In- 
ches in Depth, and between each Row fo planted, ’tis belt to lay 
in a moderate Thicknefs of Horle-Dung, which preferves their 
Roots, Sc. from the Froft of the Winter, and kceps them cool 
in the following Spring and Summer, at which Times, in dry 
and hot Weather, they muft be plentifully water'd. 
The Method of increafing Ever-Greens by Layers, is perform’d

you are to obferve, that ris belt to let the Layers of the Ar- 
butus, and fuch hard-wooded Trees, remain on the Stools at
