ASH is a tree of great life and value ; 

 In good land they grow very faft. A gen- 

 tleman may plant Am, and fee the fame 

 trees cut and fold for three and four guineas 

 each. It will grow in hard clay, but the 

 wood is not very good ; in ftrong loam 

 it will make fine trees ; in light loam it 

 grows amazingly faft, and in fifty years 

 after planting there will be trees of great 

 value. It will grow very well in moift 

 foils, but in hard dry ground the wood is 

 hot good; neither does it grow to a great 

 fize. 



THE Am is not efteemed, becaufe it is 

 long before it is green, and lofes its leaves 

 the foorieft of all the fo'reft kind. It is a 

 wood much ufed in all forts of hufbandry 

 work; fo that there mould be a large plan- 

 tation in good land, in a proper place that 

 is not near nor much in view of the 

 manfion-houfe, as they are very unfightly 

 in fpring: 



BEECH will thrive iri all kinds of foils
