FE this Kind of Ever-Green we have two Sorts, vzz. - 
() the common Engh and Swedifh Juniper ; which are 
both hardy Plants. They are of a beautiful Green, and 
makes a very fine Variety, being planted wild among{t other 
Ever-Greeas in a Wildernefs Thicket, Sc. They both delight in a 
dry poor Soil ; but are improved by a good fandy Loam. 
They are increafed from their Berries fown in March, in dry 
light Ground, and will come up in fix Weeks or two Months 
after fowing. They muft remain in the Seed-Bed two Years 
before they they are tranfplanted, during which Time they 
muft be carefully kept clean from Weeds, and water’d in a 
very dry Seafon. N. B. That the oftner thefe Sorts of Trees 
are tranfplanted, the better they will be rooted; and in the 
pruning of them, obferve to cut off their Tap-Roots, and in plant- 
ing to place their other Roots, in a Horizontal Pofition.

lifhed, or other fuch Books of the like Nature.
