That this Procefs being flow, requires fome ^^^M ^«» 

 Months of the Winter to efFoft it 5 befides^'''^'''* 

 (as I fliall hereafter mike appear) 'tis necefTa- 

 ry all Plants fliould well root and fix them- 

 felves before the approaching Spring, when 

 Natui-e haftens out all her OfF-fpring 5 arid 

 'tis certain, thofe that are the readieft, will 

 make the greateft Progrefs in their Summer's 

 Growth. 



I know this Reafon does not hold good iri 

 all Herbacious Matters 5 but in thefe 1 have 

 been mentioning, I hope ic has and will ap- 

 J)ear unconteftably tt\jc. 



Thefe are the general Direftions I think Exceptions 

 moft proper for the preparing the Grourid.J^f^^/^"^; 

 fowing and fecuring fuch Plants and Foreft somn^. 

 Trees are rais'd by Seeds 5 which meet with 

 few Exceptions from the general Rule, fave 

 that Oaks and Chefnuts are rais'd with more ^^^^' . 

 Eafe 5 for having chofe clear, good Ground, 

 the Chefnuts may be planted at five or fix 

 Inches afunder, and the Oaks fow'd in a Drill 

 made with a Hoe, like Garden Peafe, as the 

 other are planted like Gardert Beans 5 but 

 for the other, tho' fome will do with lefs 

 Care, yet 'tis feldom known any one fuffers 

 on that fide the Queftion. 



Thefe Acorns and Chefnuts ought to ^q'^^J^^^ 

 planted in the beft Land you can, which will A^o/ns, 

 be fufficiently repaid by the Quicknefs of 

 Shooting, as well as Beauty.
