86 ON PLANTING 



planted later would be in great danger of 

 being loft. 



ALL the trees muft be planted from the 

 feed-bed of the fame year's growth ; but 

 thofe that were thinned from the feed-beds 

 and planted cut, will be fo much retarded 

 by being moved, that they will not be fit 

 for planting till the fucceeding winter. 

 Thofe that were fown in the feed-bed, and 

 not planted out the firft winter, their tap* 

 roots will become fo ftrong and ftubborn, 

 that, they will be difficult to manage in 

 planting ; and on the tap-roots being pro- 

 perly difpofed depends the fuccefs of plant" 

 ing in poor land. 



IF there are any left that may not have 

 been wanted, or that there is not time to 

 plant, they mufl not be left for another 

 year, but mufr. be taken up, have their 

 roots dreiTed^ and planted in the nurfery 

 in the common method, to make, other 

 plantations in good land ; for there hould 

 none be planted in poor ground, but from 

 fhe feed-bed of that year's {owing.
