The improvement I beg leave to fuggeft is, that the 

 valuable trees, fuch as oak, larch, Spanifh chefnut, 

 beech, fycamore, elm, afti, pine, &c. fhould at leaft be 

 once tranfplanted, and that for two feafons before they 

 are put out for good j fo that, in moft cafes, the plants 

 fhould be four years old at that time, which, for the 

 generality of deciduous trees, is certainly the beft age. 



In this cafe, the number of valuable trees might be 

 limited to one thoufand to each acre, which might be 

 replaced, in cafes of accidents, agreeably to the term 

 fpecified by the Society. 



I would lay no reftraint upon any quantity of infe* 

 rior timber the Society might think proper to allow, 

 over and above the number above ftated, fuch as birch, 

 alder, mountain-afa, &c.; thefe, with fome of the pop* 

 lar and fallow kinds, are free growers, and capable of 

 taking care of themlelves, though put out as feedlings, 

 or cuttings.
