MOORS AND COMMONS. 63 



all kinds of nuts fhould be kept in dry 

 land all winter, in a place that is not damp, 

 for the dampnefs would make them moot 

 too early in the fpring for fowing ; nor in 

 a place where there is any heat, for that 

 would make them pine, but in a dry airy 

 place. The Sycamore, rough-leafed Elm^ 

 and all the kinds of Firs and Pines, mould 

 be kept dry without any fand. 



THE rough-leafed Elm is generally fowri 

 as foon as dry after it is ripe, which fre- 

 quently comes up the fame feafon, but 

 fometimes not till next fpring, and theri 

 for the moft part fo early, / that many of 

 them are cut off by the frofh If this 

 often happens to them in warm nurferies, 

 they would ftand a great chance of being 

 all deftroyed if fbwn in fields or commons 

 of poor land, as it is fo late in the feafon 

 before the Elm-feed is ripe ; for even thofe 

 that come up would be fo fmall and weak 

 that they would be all thrown out of the 

 ground, and thofe that did not come up 

 would perim by wet and cold.
