i;2 THE MANAGEMENT 



would be right to plant four or five in the 

 middle pretty clofe ; for it would be to no 

 purpofe to plant within twenty feet of the 

 fide, imlefs the tree that is planted is taller 

 than the trees that are growing round the 

 vacancy. 



IT is a common practice in natural woods 

 to cut out trees for particular ufes : this 

 is very wrong ; for it would be of more 

 advantage to the owner to purchafe what 

 wood is wanted, even at a very dear rate, 

 than mangle his wood j for if the wood 

 was not' well managed when young, it is 

 probable the cutting out of a large tree 

 may make a gap of twenty or thirty 

 feet. 



No young tree can be got up even in 

 that great fpace, for the trees that are 

 round will fpread their fide-branches, 

 which were kept up by the tree that was 

 cut, and in a few years will meet ; fo that 

 if even a tree from fome other place was 

 t be planted in the opening, unlefs it was 

 | higher
