338 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
30. CLump NEXT Mr Bate’s PASTURE. 
This clump, by the side of Mr Bate’s pasture, next the Fakenham 
Road, is composed of fine young trees, which are, however, far too 
much drawn up. It should be thinned properly, and then put 
into Mr Bate’s pasture, as, from its proximity to the road, it 
cannot be of any use for cover. 
31. Mitt Hitt Cover—rrom Pusiic Roap To Rose GREEN. 
This large young wood is chiefly composed of oak, very much 
crowded and drawn up. It should be treated in the same manner 
as recommended for No, 29—the young plantation from Shereferd 
Wood to the Fakenham Road. <A good drive is also very much 
wanted in this plantation. 
32. Mansy’s Car. 
This wood consists of oak, ash, elm, beech, alder, larch, spruce, 
Scots fir, and a considerable number of very fine, sound, healthy 
poplars, which are growing fast. With the exception of the 
poplars, the trees have been badly neglected, and in consequence 
are much drawn up in many places. No time should be lost in 
commencing to thin; and many of the poles, being clean and 
straight, would sell well. The wood might be divided, for con- 
venience in working, into four or five falls, taking one each year, 
and beginning where the poles are most crowded. 
33. Messrs Norton AND OVERMAN’s MEADOWS. 
Examined the large poplars in these meadows, and found many 
of them beginning to decay and obviously losing value, I marked 
forty-three trees, some of them of a very large size. Owing to the 
wet, unsound nature of the ground, which will never be drier than 
at present, it would be better to get the trees removed at once, 
before wet, wintry weather comes, As the forester has so much 
work on his hands at present, and likely to have more, it would 
be best to sell the poplars as they stand to a timber merchant, to 
take them down and remove them at his own expense, 
34. Mr Bearr’s PAstTure. 
Marked a very large ash and a large walnut, both of which are 
beginning to decay; also twenty-five other trees, which, when
