FORMING PLANTATIONS.

3918. jd natural succession in the kind of tree has been found to take place where 

 natural forests have been destroyed. Evelyn noticed that, at Wooton, where goodly 

 caks grew and were cut down by his grandfather 100 years before, beech succeeded, 

 and that, when his brother had extirpated the beech, birch rose up. (Gard. Mag. vol. iii. 

 p. 351.) In Dwight's Travels in New England, a number of instances are given, in 

 ^ome of which the pine and fir tribe were succeeded by deciduous trees, and in others 

 the reverse. Soulange-Bodin also, and some other French and German writers, have 

 observed the same thing to take place on the continent of Europe, and use the fact as an 

 i-rgument for the introduction of exotic trees to succeed the natives. 



3919. yi table of soils and the trees suitable to them, which maybe of some use, is given 

 in The Agricultural Survey of Kent. It indicates the trees which grow naturally ori> a 

 variety of soils and subsoils ; and, next, the sorts which yield most profit on such soils.
