The Intent of this Work is, to enable the com-

who amufes himfelf in his leifure Hours with the

Here there comes in a Confideration of which 
the common Gardeners are not fufficiently aware. 
There will require a good frefh Ground for the 
- free Rooting ahd’ foteerae Growth of thefe Trees; | 
but the Advantage muft be carry’d no farther : 
tho’ it is neceffary that it be good and ireth, it 
muft not be enriched by Dung. , 
Good Digging, and the erme up the 7, to 
fome Depth, that it may have the Advantage of 
Sun and Air, are all that fhould be allow’dit. 
‘The Trees planted out in this Ground now, are 
to be afterwards remov’d into other Places : ; and 
it is very effential to their thriving in their 
~ daft Planting, that the Ground be better there than 
in the Places ‘whence they were remov’d. This is a 
_ Reafon why the Ground, prepar’d for receiving 
them in the Seminary, fhould never be rich: ‘at 
the fame Time, that, for their Growth, it is 
needful it fhould not be either abfolutely barren or 
exhautted. 
Upon this Principle will depend the Care and 
"ey _* {Management of the Ground in the Seminary, on

moft Occafions, ftand in the Place of Manure. 
this Occafion ; and with the bringing fuch Part of 
it as is to be planted about this Time, into Order 
for it, will end the Bufinefs of the prefent Week.
