PRACTICE OF AGRICULTURE. 



Part III. 



&c. planted in a very elevated situation, w^hatever be the nature of the soil, w^ill never 

 attain a timber size. In general, as to soils, it may be observed that such as promote 

 rapid growth, render the timber produced less durable, and the contrary ; that such soils 

 as are of the same quality for a considerable depth are best adapted, other circumstances 

 being alike, for ramose-rooted trees, as the oak, chestnut, elm, ash, and most hard-wooded 

 trees ; and that such soils as are thin, are only fit for spreading or horizontal rooted trees, 

 as the pine and fir tribe. 



3639. A table of soils and the trees suitable to them is given in The Agricultural Survey 

 of Kent, which may be of some use. It indicates the trees which grow naturally on a 

 variety of soils and subsoils, which may be considered its greatest merit ; and next the sorts 

 which may be planted on such soils as yielding more profit ; with the application to use 

 or form in which that profit is obtained.
