 ing ; but that muft not be attempted, as 

 it will be impoffible to take them up with 

 any thing like a root for planting, without 

 greatly hurting the roots of the trees that 

 are to remain on the ground ; it would 

 greatly retard their growth, and the trees 

 .taken up would have little chance of 

 growing, being taken out of fo clofe a 

 iituation ; and it would be impoffible to 

 avoid cutting thefe roots very mort, as the 

 trees are only three feet diftance, with their 

 roots fpreading all over the ground. 



ALJL the plantations here treated of muit 

 be thinned in the fame manner when they 

 are grown up ; then the trees will ftand at 

 fix feet diftance, which will be fufficient 

 room for them to grow to timber. Aftet 

 ibme trees are taken away, and the re- 

 maining ones are at fix feet diftance, their 

 fide-branches will flill near meet, and be 

 fufficiently warm ; and they will decay as 

 the trees advance in height, and by. their 

 clofenefs will prune themfelves.
