There are a greater Number of 

 Species .to be found in England than 

 are liere mentioned, efpecially of 

 the Sallows, as I have been in- 

 "form'd by a very judicious Basket- 

 maker : There are at leaft thirty 

 Sorts, which they diftinguifh by 

 Name, commonly in ufe in their 

 Trade ; and belides thefe, there are 

 a great Number of Mountain Wil- 

 lows which grow upon dry 

 Grounds j biit as theie are feldom 

 cultivated, fo it would be to little 

 Purpofe to enumerate them in this 

 Pbcc. 



Ail the Sorts of Willows may be 

 eafily propagated by planting Cut- 

 tings or Sets in the Spring, which 

 do readily take Root, arid are of 

 quick Growth. Thofe Sorts whicS 

 grow to be large Trees, and are 

 cultivated for their Timber, are ge- 

 nerally planted from Sets, vvhich 

 are about leven Feet long: Thefe 

 are fharpcn'd at their larger End^ 

 and thruft into the Ground by the 

 Sides -ot Ditches and Basks where 

 the Ground is moiil ; ■■in which 

 Places they make a confiderable 

 Prcgrefs, and are a great Improve- 

 ment to ilich Efjates, becaufe their 

 Tops will be iit to lop every third 

 or fourth Year. The larger V/oodj, 

 if faund, is commonly fold for 

 r/iaking V/ooden Heels, or Soles 

 for Shoe:;, as alfo to the Turners 

 for many I^ds oi Hghc Ware.
