4$ ON PLANTING 



four or five feeds into the place, at three 

 or four inches diftance, then gently tread- 

 it with the foot ; and nothing further is 

 required in fowing on ground where long 

 heath grows. 



SUCH ground requires lefs labour to*' 

 plant than any other : there is no occafion 

 to make the holes until they are juft going 

 to be planted, and they need not be any 

 larger than juft to receive the tree roots/ 



THE heath is of great advantage to the 

 young trees,- and makes them thrive ex- 

 ceedingly if it is higher than the trees 

 planted, which I would advife. If the 

 heath is eighteen inches or two feet high, 

 the trees fhould be a foot or thereabouts-; 

 the heath will then keep them warm, and 

 will protect them from all winds until 

 they have got good roots ; fo there will 

 be no occafion to plant fo thick as on thai 

 poor bare land.
