REPORT ON PLANTATIONS ON ESTATE OF RAYNHAM, NORFOLK. 339 
taken down, will not only improve the landscape, but be also very 
beneficial to the pasturage. 
35. NorMAn’s BorrouGuH. 
Part of this wood, behind the keeper’s house, was thinned about 
four years ago. ‘The fir division requires immediate attention, the 
trees in which are of great length, and useful for building and 
other purposes, and a large number might be taken out with much 
benefit to the remaining crop. There are a great number of fine 
young oaks, and of young firs of several kinds, which require more 
light and air for their development. More attention should also 
be given to the formation of better drives, as good roads through 
all woods add considerably to their value. The soil being of a 
peaty nature by the roadside, near the Horse Shoe Inn, it is very 
suitable for growing rhododendrons, which would make excellent 
cover and be very ornamental. 
36. Rasy Woop. 
This wood is partly old and partly young, and chiefly composed 
of oak. A considerable quantity of fine timber might be taken 
out of the older part, with much benefit to the remainder. The 
young oaks are much drawn from crowding, and require very 
careful attention. The drive in this wood should be altered to a 
more convenient position, 
37. AsH CAR. 
Consists principally of ash, oak, alder, and fir. There is also a 
number of sound poplars of a large size. This division, like nearly 
all the others on the estate, requires immediate thinning. Many 
of the poles are very good, and will pay well for cutting. ~- 
38. RupHAM GrRaNncE—MrR Savory’s Farm. 
Marked all the trees necessary to be felled around the premises, 
and in the meadows. It is a great pity that these trees have 
been so badly neglected. In marking them, special attention was 
paid to shelter, and to the landseape effect, which will come out 
well when the trees are cleared away. There will be enough of 
timber here for an auction sale.
