6 ON PLANTING 



Btrr if the feeds are thoroughly 

 and kept from damp, they would do very 

 well to be prepared and fown in fpring, 

 at the fame time the other tree-feeds are, 

 xvhich is of great ufe, far they are very 

 fit for many places on poor land, grow 

 much better from the feed than when 

 planted, and is a profitable good wood. 



THE preparation of tree-feeds, fb as to 

 have them vegetate before they are fown, is 

 what has never been praclifed nor knoWn, 

 and is of the greateft ufe to fave the feeds 

 from vermin and frofr. in fpring, and from 

 being injured by the froth in the winter 

 following. 



As to the fowing feeds in fpring, that 

 has already been fhewn, and as they have 

 all the advantages of thole fown in au- 

 tumn, and liable to none of their difafters* 

 it is a great improvement; for as the fevere 

 frofts in fpring are over before they are- 

 fown, and they, by being prepared, are 

 near as forward as if they had been fown
