24^ DinEiions for Kaifing Chap. 7. 



Recommen- : J canti't but recommend this with great 



eda^am, g^j-yj^f^^efs, becaufe I know many Gard'ners 

 are much wedded to their old Methods, and 

 are apt indeed (as I have feen) to condemn 

 this : But there is more in it than they think 5 

 and I can affure them 1 have feen large Trees, 

 Quick and Holly, taken out of the Woods, 

 fix or feven Foot high, which have all liv'd 

 to a Miracle, and that not in a few Inftan- 

 ces, but in fome Furlongs of Fences, being 

 in the Eftate of a worthy Gentleman in the 



j^J^;^^^^^" Wolds of Lincolnfiire, whofe Improvements 

 deferve Imitation. 



But if this be to be praftis'd with fuchSuc- 

 cefs in Plants taken out of Woods, what may 

 not be expeded from thofe out of a Nur- 

 fery? 



objeSiion. But I muft Anfwer one Objeftion that I 

 forefee will be made againft my way of 

 Raifing, in relation to Planting from good 

 Ground to bad. 



For, fay fpme, (and indeed 'tis the common 

 Opinion) I will not plant a Tree raifed in 

 good Ground, becaufe mine is indifferent 5 

 and I cannot exped any thing, but that my 

 Trees will rather die than profper. 



Anfmy, To this I aufwer. That I have, in the fe- 

 veral Steps and Removals I have taken, flill 

 brought my Plants from good Ground to 

 worfe, and foon^ in that Cafe following the 

 Didates of Nature, that direds mellifluous 

 aiid dainty Food to Sucklings, while the Ro- 

 bufter Part of Mankind feed on meaner, coar- 



fer.
