^THE ground fhould be plowed in au- 

 tumn, and early in the fpring Town with 

 a thin crop of oats. If the feeds are dry, 

 and not prepared, they fhould be fown at 

 the fame time j but if prepared feeds are 

 ufed, which are much preferable, the 

 middle of April is the proper feafon. 



THE large feeds may be planted with a,- 

 fetting-ftick, not too fharp at the point, at 

 three feet diftance, three or four feeds in a 

 place, at four inches apart and two inches 

 deep. 



THE rough-leaved Elm, Larches, Scotch 

 Firs, Silver and Spruce Firs, and Pinafters 

 muftnot be planted with the fetting-ftick, 

 but the ground hollowed out half an inch, 

 and three or four feeds dropped into each 

 place at four inches diitance, and prefled a 

 little down with the hand, then covered 

 with mould level. 



THE proper feeds to be (own, even iii
