The Bufinefs of the Seminary, for the Beginning of September. 
“HE Seafon for tranfplanting is at hand, and 
there are many thoufand Seedlings whofe 
Size does not fit them for their Places in the Gar- 
den, though they require to be remov’d from 
thofe where they were rais’d. - 
muft be allotted for this.Service, and now is 
the Time to dig them: if they are loamy and 
rich, and solessipla frefh, nothing is needed more 
than eood found digging and breaking with the 
Spade. If the natural Earth be too tough, throw 
in Afhes; and, if exhaufted by repeated Growths, 
dig in good mellow and well rotted Dung; but not 
too much of it. | 
Go the full Spade deep in every Part, break 
every Clod, and take up every Fragment of a 
Root that comes in the way. The Dews will 
mellow and enrich the Soil; and to their Influence, 
and the Rains, it fhould be left till open’d for re- 
This is the Preparation for thofe which are to be 
remov’d; and when this is done, the next Care is 
demanded for thofe that are to ftand longer where 
they are. Clear away all Weeds from. thefe. 
Where they are too clofe for the Spade, cut the 
Surface of the Earth well with a ftout {mall Hoe ; 
and where they are {fo far a-part as to give Room 
for digging, never fpare it. The Spade the beft 
of all Inftruments of Culture; none divides and 
breaks the Soil fo thoroughly. By) 
Every digging of this kind gives the Trees ai 
Some Borders. 
This is a Practice vaftly 
preferable to the opening it juft at the Time of 
ufing: | 
Plants all the Good of Tranfplantation, without 
the Difadvantages. Let us once reprefent this 
properly to the Gardener. 
The Benefit of - Tranfplantation is, that the 
Roots being taken off at the Ends, fend out in- 
numerable new Fibres; and that there is a frefh- 
dug Earth, light and open, to give them Paflage; 
and full of Nourifhment to fpole them. The Dif- 
advantage is, the Check they receive by the Re- 
moval, it being fome Time before new Fibres 
fhoot, or Nourifhment is received: now, in this 
Method of Digging, thi® Ends of all the {pread- 
ing Roots are cut off by the Spade, and there is 
immediately thrown upon them a Quantity of 
frefh broken Mould. ‘They have therefore all the 
Advantage given by tranfplanting; and fo many of 
the more Marbendicaias Roots. are left’ untouch’d;, 
that there is a Supply from them while the other 
Fibres are preparing, which prevents the Check. 
Thus let the praétical Gardener underftand the 
Reafon of all his Operations, and he will know 
how to perform and what to expe from them. 
Trim up thofe Shrubs which require the Knife; 
and train the reft by Stakes or Cords to their x 
per Form. 
Pull up by Hand all Weeds from among Seed- 
ling Trees and hardy Plants; and having given a 
good Watering to fettle the loofe Earth to them, 
after the Difturbance from tearing up the larger 
rooted Weeds ; leave for this Week that Part of 
the Ground. até =
