too ON PLANTING 



no trench ; therefore the trees in that cafer 

 will be planted in ckan clay, and will 

 languish many years before they reach the 

 good ground laid in the bottom in trench- 

 ing, and often fo as never to recover, which 

 I have frequently feen. To plant in clay,- 

 where the foil is very mallow, the fama 

 method fhould be followed as planting in- 

 poor gravel. 



IF the ground is good, trenching Is at- 

 tende-d with a great expence to no purpofe ; 

 for if the trees are fmail or large, if the 

 holes are made fix inches wider than the 

 roots all round, for the young roots to ftrike 

 into, they will grow as well as if the whole 

 had been trenched, as the trees growing on 

 rocks where there is very little (and what 

 there is very hard) fully demonftrate ; for 

 the roots twift and twine round the ftones^ 

 and penetrate the earth between them y 

 which is extremely hard ; as alib by tree 

 roots going down into hard clay, which 

 fully mews there is no occaiion to trench 

 for timber-trees^
