F-tlUlT <;ARPEN DISPLAYED. 319 



Young trees for plan-ting may be had at 

 moll of the nurferies, trained in ftandardj, 

 advanced with full ftems five or fix feet, or 

 more, and v/ith tolerably full heads.. 



They are propagated or raifcd both from 

 the nuts, to raile any forts indifferently as 

 they may occur, and by layers and grafting, 

 to continue any particular varieties diftind. 

 The nuts may either be fowed in Autumn, or 

 preferved in land from the weather and vermin 

 till February, then fowed in drills two inches 

 deep ; and when the young feedling-trees are 

 Dne or two years old, plant them in nurfery 

 lines, and trained each with a fingle ftem five 

 or fix feet or more, then to branch out to form 

 the head, and when of fome advanced growth, 

 then tranfplanted finally to remain : and lay- 

 ers may be made in Autumn or Spring, of 

 young fhoots produced near the ground fron^ 

 proper ftools for that purpofe; they will be 

 rooted in one year, to plant off into nurfery 

 rows for training as ^bove : and grafting is 

 performed in February or March, of the de- 

 fired forts, upon feedling walnut-ftocks. And 

 in all of whichj when the young trees are ad- 

 vanced with proper feems and formed heads, 

 they may be finally tranfplanted. 



Sometimes nuts, are planted at once in th? 

 places where the trees produced therefrom ar.e 

 10 continue, thereby nqt have any check by 

 removal. 



In the advancing or general growth of 

 walnut-trees, they may generally branch ou,t 

 ^bpve in their natural order, or may give ocr
