Methods of difpofing the Plants.—In the diftribution of the 
different forts in thefe sae each fhould be feparate : 
the fruit, foreft trees, &c. occnpying fpaces by themfelves, 
nearly together ; all the fhrub icind fhould alfo be ranged in 
feparate places, allotting fuitable fpots for herbaceous pe- 
rennials and tender plants, defended with yew or privet 
hedges, or a reed fence, &c. in which may be fet fuch 
plants, i in pots, as are a little tender whilft young, and re- 
quire occafional fhelter from froft, but not fo tender as to 
o be nurfed a year or two, or longer, with teal pee 
till gradually hardened te bear the open air. 
he arrangement of all the forts in the open grounds 
fhould always be in lines or nurfery rows, as already fug- 
gefted, placing the fruit-tree ftocks, &c. for grafting and 
budding upon, in rows two feet afunder, when for dwarfs ; 
but for ftandards two feet and a half, and a foot and a half 
in the lines. But as, after being grafted and budded, they 
become fruit-trees, &c. where they are to ftand to grow to 
any ‘large fize, ey fhould be allowed the width of a yard 
between the r Foreft-trees fhould alfo be placed in 
rows from cae . tees feet afunder, and half that diftance 
in the rows; varying the diftance both ways, according to 
the time they are to ftand ; the fhrub fhould likewife be ar- 
ift 
eighteen inches afunder, aeconias to their nature of growth, 
and the time they are to ftand or remain in them.

with the line, preffing the mould clofe to it with the foot 3 
then proceeding to plant another in the fame way, and fo on. 
A fecond method, for plants with rather larger roots, is to 
ftrike the fpade down with its back clofe to the line, and then 
cut out a narrow trench with it clofe along the line, making 
the fide next the line perfeCtly upright, placing the plants 
upright againft the back of the trench clofe to the line, at 
the proper diftances; and as the work proceeds, trimmin 
in the earth upon their roots ; when one row is thus planted, 
the earth fhould be trodden gently all along clofe to the 
plants; and then proceed to plant another row in the fame 
manner. Another method of planting out {mall tree and 
fhrub plants is, after having fet the line as above, to turn the 
{pade edgeways to the line caiting out the earth of that fpit, 
then a perfon ready with plants, fetting one in the cavit 
clofe to the line, and dire&tly taking another fuch f{pit, turn- 
ing the earth in upon the roots of the plant >» and then 
placing another plant into the fecond cut, covering its roots 
with the earth of a third fpit, and fo on to the end; but, 
fometimes, when the roots are much larger, holes are aade 
along the line wide enough to receive the roots freely fae 
way, covering them in, as above, as the wark proceeds, al- 
ways prefling the earth gently with the foot clofe to the roots,
