^xial Litter their Leaves make> have 

 aimofl brought them into Diluic 

 for this \york, unlei's in large Wii- 

 derneffes, where the Hedges are 

 train'ci up to a great Height j for 

 which Parpofe there is no Tree 

 more ureful, it being a very ton- 

 file Plant, and may be kept thick 

 from the Bottom to the Height of 

 eighteen or twenty Fcet> and will 

 reliil the Violence of ftrong Winds 

 the bell of any of the deciduous 

 Trees, and is of fpsedy Growth. 

 The Timber of this Tree is very 

 tough and flexible, and is of ex- 

 cellent Ufe to the Turners, as alio 

 tor making Mill-cogs, Heads of 

 Beatles, (^c. aud is very good Fire- 

 wood. 



This Tree may be rais'd from 

 the Seeds, which fliould be fown 

 early in the Autumn in a fhady 

 Situation, where they will remain 

 in the Ground until Spring, and 

 often till the fecond Year before 

 they appear •■, for vv hich Reafon it 

 is generally propagated by Layers, 

 which is the moft expeditious Me- 

 thod : The Layers fl:»ould be laid in 

 Autumn, and will have taken fuf- 

 .ficient Root to be tranfplanfed the 

 Autumn following j at which Time 

 they fhould be tranrplanted into a 

 Nurfery for tv/o or three Years, 

 where, if they are defign'd for 

 Hedges, their under Branches fhould 

 not be taken off, but the Trees 

 train'd flat for that Purpofe. Thefe 

 Trees are very proper to make 

 Hedges round the Quarters of Exo- 

 tick Trees and Shrubs, their Leaves 

 abiding till the Spring before they 

 fall off, will greatly fence off the 

 cold Winds from the Quarters, and 

 what Leaves do fill awAV in Au- 

 tumn fhould be fuffer'd to remain 

 upon the Surface of the Ground 

 until Spring, which v/ill keep the 

 Froff tiom penetrating fp deep into

the Ground as it would were the 

 Ground intirely bare. 



This Tree will grow upon cold, 

 barren, expos'd Hills, and in fuch 

 Situations that few other Trees 

 will, fo that it may be cultivated 

 to great Advantage in fuch Places. 



I'he Hop-Hornbeam flieds its 

 Leaves in Winter, with the Elm, 

 and other deciduous Trees. This 

 Tree, though but lately known in 

 England, yet is very common in 

 Germany, growing promifcuoufly 

 With the common Sort. This is 

 much preferable to the common 

 Sort fur liedges in a Pleafu re- Gar- 

 den, upon the Account of its quit^ 

 ting its Leaves, with other Trees, 

 and thereby doth not make £o 

 much Litter in the Spring as the 

 other, and will cut full as well. 



The Virginian flowering Horn- 

 bea7n is ilill lefs common than the 

 laft, and only to be {tzx\ in curious 

 Gardens; it is equally as hardy as 

 the otxher, and may be increas'd b/ 

 Layers.

This Plant is very much culti- 

 vated in many Parts of Germany 

 for the Dyers Ufe, and is brought 

 into England from thence; it is 

 there fown in the open Fields in 

 the Spring of the Year; and when 

 come up, they hoe it out thin, as 

 we do Turnips, leaving the Plants, 

 about eight or ten Incht-s diftanc 

 every Way: Theie Plants, as they 

 grow, divide into a great many 

 Branches, each producing a Flower
