no ON THICK PLANTING 



THE trees that were cut off will fhoot 

 ftrong, and make good under-wood for 

 fome years ; that is, till the trees get fome 

 fide-branches, and grow to a fize to (mother 

 it. But in fuch thickets, as the trees are 

 fo tall, it would be very improper to thin 

 them to fuch a diftance as to make a laft- 

 ing crop of under-wood and timber-trees ; 

 for as they are very tall, and not ftrong 

 in proportion to their height, the wind 

 would make them fo much, if it did not 

 break them, that they would be in great 

 danger of being, what is termed by the 

 wood-workers, Jhaken^ which greatly lef- 

 lens the value of the tree. 



THE under- wood will (hoot very fafr, 

 five or fix feet the firfr, year, and will be 

 of great fervice to the {landing timber- 

 trees ; in three years time it will be as high 

 as- the boles of the trees ; but as their 

 heads will always be above, it will not 

 draw them, and they will grow very 

 ftrong.
