 Vantage of the firft rains in autumn to 

 moiften them ; for there is no planting in 

 fuch grounds until they are moiftened af- 

 ter {Hiring, as all rain runs off before the 

 (urface is broke. 



THERE is nothing more to be done un- 

 til the planting-feafbn, which fliould be 

 as early as the weather will permit ; for if 

 done late, a dry fpring would be of bad 

 confequence, 



WHEN you begin to plant, take up no 

 more trees at a time than can be planted 

 in one day, taking care not to expofe the 

 roots to the fun or wind. 



THEbeft method is to fbw and plant 

 the trees alternately. So when you plant, 

 the places for feed fliould he left until the 

 (eafon for {owing in fpring. 



THE trees fit for planting in fuch places 



are, at the fummit of hills, Scotch firs and 

 A 2 larches.
