108 THE PRACTICAL PLANTER. 



erect, some recline, and " some do gentry 

 nod." 



When the culture of a vegetable crop among 

 the trees is intended, although it is not abso- 

 lutely necessary for this purpose that they 

 stand in line ; yet it facilitates the operation 

 of cropping considerably, while continued. 

 Think not I allude to ploughing or horse- 

 hoeing. I disclaim the idea of a horse or 

 bullock ever entering here, from the day 

 the trees are planted, till they are at least a 

 foot in diameter. 



In all cases, except where the culture of 

 vegetables is intended, the promiscuous me- 

 thod of planting is to be advised ; merely 

 because it is least troublesome. Indeed, in 

 some situations, lining is hardly practicable. 

 On all uneven surfaces, it is perplexing in a 

 greater or less degree.
