72 THE PRACTICAL PLANTER. 



sufficiency of room, and being kept properly 

 clean of weeds, will, in any soil or situation 

 wherein it may afterwards be placed, out- 

 grow another of any age within the seventh 

 year after transplanting. 



I have planted many of this description, 

 and, within that period, have measured 

 them fifteen feet in height; while those on 

 the same spot, planted the same day, and 

 which were, some two, some three years 

 nursed, did not measure above twelve feet, 

 nor were so straight or beautiful. 



In fine, I have found the progress of this 

 plant, in infancy, follow in this rotation on 

 all soils where I have made the experiment; 

 and these have been very different in qua- 

 lity and depth : 



1 One-year seedling, One year nursed. 



2 Ditto ditto, I Ditt0 ' removed, and nursed a 



I second year. 



3 Ditto ditto, f Nursed in the same row two 



I years. 



4 Two-year seedling, One year nursed.
