divifion of this well-cultured and exceedingly fruit- 
ful garden. Buta mile or two beyond its boundary 
the baronet has fet an example, worthy of adoption 
by every poffeffor of manorial land in the kingdom.

what the ftatute for a publick road requires: this

of replacing a fingle tree; the firft trenching at once _ 
giving fertility to the foil, and infuring a larger pro- 
duétion of this farinacious and moft valuable root ; 
the foil being thus prepared for the ftriking and 
due extending of every fibre of the infant timbers, 
the fummer herbage of the potatoes fhading their. 
roots from an excefs of fun, while the taking up of 
their roots tends to facilitate the trees’ further pro- 
grefs. In fine, the potatoes are as promifing this 
year as the laft, while the trees are flourifhing with 
a fuperior luxuriance of branch and leaf; giving an
