OF GARDENING. 
~Octob. cuous when let alone, that no Care can be too 
much upon this Head. 
Let him in the fame Mannér note the Places 
where new ones may be planted, and alfo mark 
any that are decayed or decaying. Where they 
are eafily had, as in the Neighbourhood of 
Nurfery-Men,. or where there is a Seminary | 
tolerably kept up for the Supply of the Garden, 
they come fo cheap, that it is never worth while 
to wait for the Recovery of one that is decaying. 
At this Seafon when any fuch are difcovered, 
tear them up at once, and place new ones in 
their Stead. 
Snow white. 
The Bladder and Scorpion Sena, 
the Lilac and Syringa, the Spiraea, the Bird’s 
Cherry, and the Arbutus; and to thefe we fhall 
add two others, though of very different Kinds; 
yet of great Beauty : thefe are the Coccygria and 
the Spotted Ciftus. 
The Gardeners take their Cisice of eiitdiets 
thefe feveral Kinds in Autumn or in Spring; 
but the autumnal Seafon is vaftly kit alles 
This we advance upon Experience againft the 
Cavils of the beft of them ; and it is of particu- 
lar Service in the prefent Cafe. 
Upon any Occafion it is preferable, becaufe

the Shrubs ftrike fome Root before Winter ; 
and as they require little Supply in that Seafon, 
thofe they now fend out ferve for the Purpofe ; 
and they are ready to pufh with Vigour, when 
the Warmth and Moifture of the Spring {wells 
and invigorates them: but in the particular Cafe 
we here mention there is a very great Advantage. 
If the Shrub be planted to fupply a Défici- 
ency in Spring, it does not look like the reft during 
that Seafon, but isa continual Blemifh ; where- 
as thofe which we order to be planted in this 
Part of Offober, will ftand the Winter in fuf- 
ficient Health, and when the Spring comes will 
fhoot out their Leaves uniformly with the reft, 
1 and flower at the Seafon that’ Year; in all 
Things agreeing with the others, and appearing 
a regular Part of the Plantation. 
When thefe bad Shrubs are removed, and the 
Places marked where others are to come, let 
there be opened in each Spot a good Hole for 
the Reception of the new one; and let them be 
brought frefh in, with as much of their Earth 
about them as conveniently can be; and planted 
with Care, keeping them upright, and fixing 
the Earth well about them. 
The Variety of Shrubs which offer for this 
Purpofe is very great, and moft of them are ex- 
tremely beautiful: but as we have found from 
Experience, that fome of them fucceed better at 
one Time of planting, and fome at another. We 
fhall here add a Lift of fuch as always thrive 
upon being tranfplanted at this Seafon. 
Thefe are the Double Bramble and Double 
Cherry, both very beautiful when in Bloom ; the

It is a common Cuftom, for the Sake of fav- 4 
ing a little Trouble, to buy,.‘the Trees of’ 
-Norfery- Men ; but we advife fuch as are curious 
in. their Fruit, to take Care they deal only with | 
‘thofe of Reputation, and always to.enquire up! 
on. what Stocks they have been propagated. 
It is a yet better, Method to raife the Stocks 
for this Ufe ; for-then: there can be no Miftake : 
and of this the Gardener may be affured,: that 
the Tafte and Flavour of theFrnit will always 
be influenced by the Stock.

to the Apple beyond Thought. 
This is a Subject we fhall treat more at large 
hereafter’; but thus much is needful to remind 
the Gardener, with refpect to what Stocks he now 
|. plants out in his Seminary. 
There are various Stocks of the Apple Kind | 
proper for Apples; and as the Choice is in ma- 
ny Refpects equal, it fhould be directed by the 
intended Form and Ufe of the’ Tree : and the 
Gardener fhould know which Stock will furit beft . 
for each Form of Growth. 
The: three principal Stocks we fhall recom-_ 
neni for. this Purpofe, are the Codling, ‘Para- 
dife, and Creeper Apple. 
When the Trees are intended for Efpaliers or 
. al, the beft Stock is the Paradife or Cod-
