SOIL FOR 



THE American poplars are amazing faft 

 growers, and are beautiful trees, but the 

 wood does not feem to be miich better 

 than the other forts. 



ALL the kinds would jinfwer well to be 

 planted thick in moift grounds for coal- 

 pit props, or where wood was much 

 wanted for fencing of plantations and in- 

 elofures. The wood of late is much ufed 

 in different kinds of huibandry for its 

 lightnefs ; and fome have made chamber- 

 floors of it. The wood is of ihort dura- 

 tion, and is not of value to make large 

 plantations in any other grounds but wet 

 places, where other wood will not thrive;, 

 and there they will turn to great profit; 



THE Alder wood is of fo little value, 

 and the tree of fo little beauty, that it is 

 not worth cultivating in any place but 

 mere bogs, where little elie will grow. 

 They may be propagated in fuch places by 

 large truncheons drove or pufhed into the 

 ground,
