 of it remain upon the Tops of 

 your young Pl.iars : This \vU

 dure the Winter's Cold : And at 

 this time it will be convenient ro 

 remove the Ciihs into a wirmer 

 Situation, as under ibme South 

 Hedge, and raiie them from the 

 Ground with Bricks, that they 

 may be kept the drier ; and if iz 

 proves frofly, it unli be neceflary 

 to lay ibme Furze (or luch like 

 hght Covcricg) ro guard them 

 from the Injuries thereof; bur I 

 would not ad vile the Houling,

 are brought from hotter Coun- 

 tries. They may remiin in theie 

 Caies till the lecond Year, at 

 which time it wiJ be convenient 

 to remove them into Nurieries, 

 where they rtiay ilr^nd for tour or 

 five Years. The bell Sealbn for 

 this Work, is towards the latter 

 End of M^rch, or the Beginning 

 of A^ril. The Manner of per-

 directed tor larger PLmradons, I 

 fhall refer to that j only I mufl 

 beg leave to obierve, that if the 

 Soil you intend to plant them in,

 ■ ceilary ro raiie a little Hill of 

 lighter Eirth, whereon to punt 

 each Tree; and if Trees of rh:s 

 kind are removed at a l-irger 

 Growth, it will be abiblutelv ne- 

 ceiliry to raiie a Hill for eich 

 Tree (eipecially if the Soil be a 

 Gravel or Chalk) and not, as is too 

 often the Practice, dig a Hole into 

 the Gravel, Chalk, or^Cliy, and nil 

 it with Mould, and therein plant 



)the Tree. This is next akm to plant- 

 ing them in Ci. rem?, which will hold

if it fo hippens that the Trees \Wc 

 four or nv-e Years, yet, alier that. 

 when the Roots are ipread to ths 

 Extremity of tiieie Holes, and caa 

 get no farther, the T:ec5 grow 

 knotty and fhmt, and, perhaps, in 

 a few Years die. Tne not obierrbg 

 this, is the Reaibu we fee lb tew

Tnele Trees are very often ar 

 a Stand, during three or ibur 

 Years aiter planting, but whea 

 once they have eila-lifh'd them-
