Six feet will be a proper difbnce ; the 

 trees will grow very faft, and by the time 

 they have got a foot or two above the 

 heath their branches will near meet, and 

 as the trees advance the heath will decay. 

 The trees growing clofer will prune them- 

 felves, and there will be no further care 

 requifite. 



IF the ground is a fiat moor, it mould 

 be planted to the weft, northern^ and eaft 

 aspects with Scotch Firs and Larches,- 

 as before directed upon poor land, for 

 fhelter. 



,!F a hill or riling ground, which is 

 generally the cafe, the higheft ground to 

 the weft and north mould alfo be planted 

 with Scotch Firs and Larches, to fhelter 

 the other trees from the north winds ; but 

 the plantation of the N m mould be fmall, as 

 it would be bad policy to ufe much of this 

 ground for any trees but the Oak, which 

 thrive in fuchfoil better than in any other.
