LIFTING TWO-YEAR SEEDLINGS. 



Horfe Chefnut, ought all to be lifted at one-year 

 feedlings, and tranfplanted. 



Filberts and Hazels, however, may be treated 

 as above advifed for the Beech. 



LIFTING TWO-YEAR SEEDLINGS. 



No fort of Seedlings mould remain longer in 

 the feed-bed than two years ; otherwife, their 

 roots become too naked, and the fibres too few 

 in number. The whole of the deciduous kinds 

 mould be lifted in the courfe of this month. 

 There are no more plants to be expected of any 

 of the forts ; nor is any care neceflary to preferve 

 the beds from being defaced : the only object 

 now to be attended to, is, to lift them with as 

 many fibres at the roots as poffible. This is bed 

 done by eafing them with a fpade, putting it 

 ftraight down to the depth of the roots, and turn- 

 ing them up, fo as the plants may come away by 

 an eafy pull. 



The shougking of the two-year feedlings is alfo 

 immediately to follow, upon their being lifted ; 

 only, they mud occupy a larger fpace, according 

 to their fize. Nothing, we repeat it, is more de- 

 ftructive to young feedling trees, than allowing 

 them to lye too thick together in the sJiough.
