 Ilouriih in any (oil ; but the broad leaved is reckoned 

 the beft timber, and the fmall leaved the mod orna- 

 mental ; it fhould have a good foil. The wycb is cafily 

 raifed from feed, (town direftly after it is ripe} but the 

 other forts are propagated from fuckers, or layers, or 

 graffing on the wycb. In order to obtain fuckers, and 

 {hoots for layers .Jlools are to be formed by cutting down 

 fome young trees, almoft clofe to the ground. Trees from ' 

 layers are better -than from fuckers. Obferve, that 

 whatever is to be propagated by layers, or fa

Hornbeam-, the common fort will grow very large in. 

 fome foils, but the Virginian (flowering yellow) will' 

 hardly-reach thirty feet, and xhz hop not above twenty; 

 The hornbeam featliers down lower and thicker th.m 

 any other tree, and the property of holding its decayed 

 leaves on all winter, adapts the common fort for a 

 fcreen from winds. See page 111.

 nuts, either to remain where fown, or planted out 

 while" young,- -keeping the : ftenis t-rimmed up, free ot 

 (hoots, to about five or fix feet, (according to ihc

 proceed from the upper eyes ; and this is the way to 

 form all forts of trees to good heads.
