Transplanting Large Trees, fyc. 
It frequently happens that people are desirous of removing large 
favourite trees or shrubs, from one place to another, and as this is the 
best time to prepare for that business, I refer you for the necessary 
information to page 233. 
Prune Flowering -Shrubs, Sfc. 
You may now prune and reduce into due form, any hardy flower- 
ing shrubs and forest-trees, whether evergreen or deciduous; but 
the more tender sorts ought not to be pruned till spring. For 
the method of doing which, see page 165. 
Planting and Plashing Hedges. 
Ground hedges of haw-thorn, beech, hornbeam, honey-locust or 
any other hardy kinds of deciduous plants, may be made any time 
in this month, while the weather continues open. For ample in- 
structions on this subject, see page 260, &c. 
Old hedges which are overgrown and thin, may now be plashed, 
or cut down, as directed in page 268. 
Ordinary Work. 
Rake and carry away out of the walks, borders, and lawns, the 
fallen leaves of trees and other rubbish: stake and tie up any large 
new planted trees, to prevent their being rocked about by the wind, 
and lay mulch, long litter, or leaves, round the roots of such as are 
rather tender, to protect them from frost. 
Place small stakes and bass-mats, or long-drawn straw, bound 
around such plants of the Hydrangea hortensis, Prunus Lauro- 
cerassus, China and Otaheite roses, &c. as you have planted out in 
warm well-sheltered borders. Many plants that are commonly kept 
in Green-houses, would abide during winter in the open ground, if 
thus protected; but this should not be done till the keen frosts are 
just commencing. 
Dress gravel-walks, and mow grass-walks and lawns, after which 
roll them with a heavy roller, which will render the surface firm, 
smooth and neat during winter. Observe to do this work in dry 
open weather. Some people break up their gravel walks at this 
season, and throw them in ridges to lie so all winter, under an idea 
of destroying weeds, &c. but as this renders walks unserviceable at 
a time when a foot can scarcely be "set with pleasure on any other 
part of the ground, and that a turning in spring would answer the 
end proposed, this practice ought to be abandoned. 
Lay roses and other shrubs for propagation, and in the early part 
of the month, take off well rooted layers, and dig up suckers of de-
