98 ON PLANTING 



ment of railing trees to be tranfplanted 

 from the feed-bed into the nurfery, to be 

 trained for fome years to make plantations 

 on different kinds of ground, where there 

 is a fufficient depth of earth to make 

 holes. 



SUCH trees need not be thinned to fb 

 great a diftance in the feed-bed as thofe 

 for planting poor land, as they mould be 

 taken from the feed-bed and have their 

 roots drefled, and planted in rows at a 

 fmall difbnce, to ftand a few years, and 

 then to be removed again and drefled top 

 and bottom, and planted at a greater 

 diftance, where they may remain until they 

 are taken to plant in the fields to make 

 plantations to grow for timber. 



IT is a great advantage for all kinds of 

 feedling-trees to be fo thin in the feed-bed 

 that the air may pals freely amongft them 

 in the fummer j they do not grow fo tall, 

 but there will be very few of them but 

 will grow, and be much better when re- 

 moved.
