Sea. 6. of Foreft Trees. a a 5 



Plants in a ftraight line five or fix Foot 

 afuhder. 



Of thefe moft Gentlemen have fome by 

 them 5 but if not, they may feafily buy thetn : 

 Any crooked Trees will ferve, provided they 

 are large and ftrong 5 and all the Head and 

 Stem being cut dowti, they will be very 

 eafily tranfpbrted to any Place. 



As for the Qiiantity of Mother Plants, ^'^•'^^i^«^«- 

 which Ifliall henceforward call &(>(9/j, they'^^ed!'^ 

 ought to be according to the Number one 

 intends to raife. A good ftrong Stool will, 

 one Year with another, throw out 20, or 

 25, fometimes 50, 40, 50, or 60 Plants 5 fo 

 that about 20 Stools of each may be fufficient, 

 and perhaps lefs, feeing that thefe Plants will 

 foon fill a fmall Nurfery. 



The Kinds that I would preferr the moft, ^^•'^^^'^^^ 

 are Englifi Elm and Limes ^ as for the Ph-'/Jf/'^ 

 tanus, a few of them will ferve, they being 

 chiefly to be ufed in Centres and Shady 

 Groves ^ the Abeal will profper in any fort 

 of Ground, therefore a good Number of 

 them ought to be rais'd 5 the Alder does 

 well in Wet Low Lands, and the Poplar iti 

 Clayey Ground. The £72^/2/; Elm I preferr 

 for Walks, either Standards or Efpaliers 5 the 

 Dutc/;^ a few of them, for Efpaliers ^ but the 

 Witch for Thickets and promifcuous Plant- 

 ing, in refped of the Quicknefs of Growth ; 

 The Limes ought to have Clear Soil, and 

 are fitteft for Walks,
