MOORS AND COMMONS. 87 



THE planting in poor land is quite dif- 

 ferent from planting where there is plenty, 

 or even a moderate quantity, of foil ; for 

 where there is fo little as two or three 

 inches, if the roots are planted lower than 

 that, there is nothing for them to flrike 

 into but gravel or rock, where it is im- 

 poffible for them to thrive. 



THE holes being made as before directed, 

 make them flat at top, and if they are two 

 or three inches higher than the ground, fo 

 much the better ; for they will link down 

 level with the other ground in a little time, 

 as their being higher is only from the 

 earth's being ftirr.ed. 



TAKE up the trees from the feed-bed 

 carefully, taking great care to break none of 

 their roots, and take no more up than can 

 be planted in a day ; lay them in a flat 

 baiket with fome mofs over their roots, 

 and carry them into the field or common 

 where, they are to be planted.
