Cha^;!2. The Conclufion. 531 



^''1 h^ve very little more to add concerning ^/ ^^'^ 

 Elm, Lfo^> Sycamore, ^c. But by all means 

 I tijuft again atid again advife the plant- 

 ing all open ! Avenues with Englijl Elm 5 

 mt6 thett is ho Tree grows more tegular 

 (tefe that does/ that produces a Wood that 

 fells better, or indeed that carries a more 

 noble Shade and Verdure with it • the Um- 

 bra^fe it cafts is noble, the Leaves are of a 

 datk, hdldirig G^een, and not fo apt as Lime 

 to be affeded by Heat, or gravelly hot 

 Ground, and to turn Yellow, and fhed its 

 Leaves in the middle of Summery finally, 

 '^tis one of the ffioft hofpitable Plants of all, 

 {ince whatever grows linder it will profper 5 

 which Afli, Yew, and feveral other Trees will ' 

 fiotfuffer. 



^^^Lime, altho' we find it the only Furni- ^^ ^''"^* 

 tiite bf all our Country Seats, is, in my 

 Opinion, one of the worft Trees a Man can 

 plant, in hopes of ever receiving future Pro- 

 fit by it ^ and the only Reafon I can fee why 

 fo many of them have been planted, is, that 

 they grow away pretty quick, are eafy to pro- 

 pagate, and ftill eafier to train up ^ no Trees 

 growing handfomer, or making a more noble 

 Appearance 5 but the little Uife 'tis of, ought 

 to cafliier the Planting fo very many of them, 

 and ev'n only of a few for Variety's fake- 

 fo likewife of Sycamore, as ufelefs as the ^^ ^''^'^^ 

 former. 



Abeal, Poplar, d^c. ought by no means to ^f ^^'' 

 b& rais'd on good Ground, or in our View, "^^^ ^^'
