feries (now maffive plantations), prior to lypij and 

 what were given as prefents to the gentlemen of this 

 county and others, 



Of any improvements^ ivhich may occur for future en- 

 couragement, and particularly for the preservation of 

 Trees when planted*. 



Without clofe attention to the following requifites, 

 it is in vain to plant. 



Complete fencing, and guarding againft cattle. Pre- 

 paring the foil according to circumftances, particularly 

 in rendering it fufficiently dry, when it is naturally too 

 wet. Encreafmg flicker by every means, where ne- 

 ceffary ; and planting judicioufly the different fpecies 

 of plants, agreeably to the foils a,nd afpefts they are 

 beft calculated for. 



The different modes, made ufe of for the encourage- 

 ment and prefervation of plantations, fhall be fully 

 ftated, when I come to treat of Lord Mountjoy's im- 

 provements at large, to which I fhall refer as a model, 

 that has been found, from feveral years experience, tQ 

 have completely anfwered the end^ 



It is in the power of the Society to adopt a mode, 

 by which planting cannot fail of being conftderably 

 improved. 



Hitherto^
