8 4 ON PLANTING 



the moft part planted in much worfe 

 ground than where they were raifed. 



IT would not be right to raife trees for 

 planting in poor land on ground made very 

 rich with dung ; but it would be much 

 worfe to pretend to raife them on a very 

 poor foil. If the beds for fowing the feeds 

 are made as here directed, they will produce 

 fine plants for the purpofe, and there will 

 be no doubt of their fuccefs when planted 

 in the very worft ground. 



THE management and fowing the feeds, 

 as alfo the raifing of the trees, for planting- 

 poor land, are all fully explained. 



WE now proceed to the planting, which 

 maybe either alternate, or wholly detached. 

 I would recommend alternate planting and 

 lowing, unlefs where it is otherwife 

 directed ; that is, all the Fir and Pine 

 kinds mould be all fown or all planted ; 

 but planting them is much the befr, as it 

 is almoft impoilible to fave the young
