PLANTING. 125 



parching drought in the early part of sum- 

 mer, but also that the tender foliage might 

 be much injured, nay, entirely blasted, by 

 prevailing winds, before the roots begin to 

 draw nourishment for their common suste- 

 iiance. 



The kinds may also, in some measure, re- 

 gulate the season of planting, some vege- 

 tating more early than others. But this 

 can only operate in the case of grouping, 

 for in that of planting in mixture, it would 

 be a very inconvenient matter to go over 

 the ground several times ; nor could the 

 mixture be so minutely or regularly formed 

 as at once. 



In tliis case; vi z. grouping, if the nature 

 of the season, the soil, and situation, be no 

 hindrance, or controul not the planter's in- 

 clination of planting each kind at the pro- 

 per season, he should endeavour to have the 

 Larch, Elm, Sycamore, Lime, Horse-Ches- 

 nut, Mountain-Ash, Birch, Alder, Poplar, 

 Willow, &c. planted by the first of March, 

 and the Oak, Beech, Ash, Chesnut, Horn- 

 beam, &c. by the first of April at farthest.
