THE PRACTICAL PLANTER, 



CHAP. II. 



ON THE SOILS ADAPTED TO THE DIFFERENT 

 KINDS OF FOREST TREES. 



SECTION I. 



Those best adapted to the Deciduous Kinds, viz. 



The Alder, The Laburnum, 



The Ash, The Larch, 



The Mountain-Ash, The Lime, 



The Beech, The Oak, 



The Birch, The Plane-tree, 



The Chesnut, The Poplar, 



The Horse Chesnut, The Sycamore, 



The Elm, The Walnut, and 



The Hornbeam, The Willow. 



BEFORE considering the soil most pro- 

 perly adapted to the trees above enu- 

 merated, it may be proper to premise, 



1st. That although no tree will flourish 

 in a superlative degree, except in its own soil, 

 yet are they found in very considerable per- 

 fection in those of apparently different com- 

 position and texture.
