OF THE N URS E'R'Y. 3 



THE bringing the common forts of 

 foreft-trces to perfection, and making them 

 fit for all kinds of foils and lituations, is 

 what I (hall give directions for, and the 

 choofing a proper foil for that ufe ; or, 

 where it cannot be had, to make one by 

 art, fit for the purpofe, at as little expence 

 as poffible. 



IT is a general opinion that all nurferies 

 for raifing trees mould be the fame, or very 

 near the fame, with the foil the trees 

 are to be planted in ; but this is fetting 

 out on a very wrong principle ; for, as I 

 faid before, all the capital nurferies in 

 England are on a fine light fandy loam, or 

 they are made fo by the nurferymen, who 

 certainly are the beft judges ; and, as a 

 proof of their judgment, all the trees that 

 are taken from fuch nurferies, thrive when 

 planted on much worfe ground than where 

 they were raifed.
