I know, contrary to this, it h^s been ohje&'AnObjem^ 

 ed. That thofe Side-ihoots caufe an Hori--^^'!j^j^^^^^^ 

 zontal Diftribution of the Sap 5 and that^o„^^BWi-. 

 withal the Tree waxes thicker in Proporti- 

 on to its Height, which would otherwife 

 grow too taper and limber, and confequent-

 this Point wrong. 



To this I agree in all Trees that are full ^ir^^^ to,

 Enquiry, I proceed to that of Digging, Ma- 

 nuring, and Drefling, that is required in Open 

 Nurferies.

 let Dung be brought from N*^. 4. p. 106, and {jZ^ and 

 laid by Barrowfuls all over the Ground you i^hen tobs
