The Sallows are commonly plant- 

 ed in Cuttings, made from Ihong 

 Jihoots of the former Year and are 

 about three Feet long: Thefe are 

 commonly thruft down two Feet 

 deep into the Ground, and are one 

 ^oot above it The Soil fhould 

 always be dug or plough'd before 

 they are planted, and the Cuttings 

 plac'd about three Feet Row frOm 

 Row, and eighteen Inches afunder 

 in the Rows, obferving always to 

 J>lace the Rows the iloping Way 

 of the Ground, (efpecialiy if the 

 iTides overflow the Place) becaufe 

 if the Rows are piac'd the contrary 

 Ways, all the Weeds and Filch will 

 be detainM by the Plants, which 

 will choak 'em up. The beft Ssa- 

 ibn for planting thefe Cutt,ngs is 

 in Feti-uMy, for if they are planted 

 fooner, they are apt to peel, if it 

 proves hard Froft, which greatly 

 injures them. Thefe Plants are 

 always cut every Year, and if the 

 Soil be good they will produce a 

 great Crop j ib thai the yearly 

 Produce of otte Acre has been 

 often fold for fifteen Pounds, but: 

 ten Pounds is a common Price, 

 which is much better than Corn 

 Land : fo that it is great Pity theie 

 Plants are not more cultivated, 

 efpecialiy upon moifl boggy Soils, 

 upon which few other Things v/ill 

 thrive.
