OF GROWN WOO D. . 



(hould never be planted as detached trees, 

 jaor in {ingle rows, 



THE trees that are taken up muft not by 

 any means be divefted of all their fide- 

 branches, as is often pracYifed ; for if they 

 have been well managed, they will be. 

 flifF and ftrong, and very able to fupport 

 themfelves with the fide-branches on ; 

 they keep the trees warm, and encourage 

 their growth greatly ; whereas, when ta-r 

 ken clean off, the top or leading moot 

 grows very long even the firfl: year after 

 planting, and always fo weak, that it is 

 pot ftrong enough to fupport itfelf, fb 

 prows crooked ; but where many or all of 

 the fide-branches are left on, it grows not 

 fo much in length, but quite ftrong and 

 upright, 



IT is owing to the {tripping of young 

 ones that there, are fo many crooked trees 

 in plantations that are planted from nurfe^ 

 ries with trees eight or ten feet high. 



I HAVE planted trees twenty feet high
