ii4 ON THICK PLANTING 

 for they will grow very fail and very 

 thick. 



IN the beginning of July, fome ftools 

 that have fine fhoots may be marked at 

 forty or fifty feet diftance, of the kind 

 the moft proper for the foil, or what the 

 proprietor likes heft (if there are different 

 kinds of trees in the plantation) and all the 

 fhoots but one pulled off by the hand ; 

 they will come off very eafily at that fea- 

 fon, as the wood will be very thick. 



IN the winter, ftub a root or two the 

 neareft to thofe that are to ftand for tim- 

 ber, that they may have free air : they 

 will make finer trees than if they had been 

 treated in any other manner. 



IT will be necefiary to examine their 

 bottoms next fummer, and pull off the 

 fhoots, if any more have grown : they 

 muft be pruned and dreffed as other trees ; 

 and as they have free air and warmth they 

 will grow amazingly, and in ten years 



time
