66 THE PRACTICAL PLANTER. 



SECTION II. 



Culture. 



As, according to the SYSTEM here set forth, 

 we do not nurse trees in general more than 

 two seasons; as they are either one or two 

 years in the seminary, according to their 

 kinds, before they come under view ; and, 

 as the after-treatment for many kinds is the 

 same, it would only occasion unnecessary 

 repetitions to particularize the treatment of 

 each individual. For the sake of brevity, 

 therefore, I shall class such as with propriety 

 may be classed together, and whose culture 

 in the nursery is similar; particularizing 

 those only that are of the greatest importance, 

 and whose treatment is materially different. 



ALDER AND BIRCH 



Should remain two* years in the seminary, 

 and will then be fit for removal into nursery 



* They are often, however, planted out at one year 

 old, particularly if the plants are stout and healthy.
