PLANTING HEDGE-ROW, &C. 263 



PLANTING HEDGE-ROW AND DETACHED TREES. 



In all fituations where the foil is in a proper 

 ftate for planting, it Ihould forthwith be done. The 

 moft proper hedge-row trees, are the Sycamore, the 

 Beech, the Afh, the Scots Elm, the Englifh Elm, 

 and the Oak, where the foil is fuitable. Thefe 

 may alfo be allowed a place in the park or the 

 lawn; with the addition of the Lime, the Service, 

 the SpanHh Chefnut, the Prolific Chefnut ; * the 

 Gold, the Silver, and the Weeping Afh ; the 

 Striped Sycamore, and the Copper Beech ; the 

 Common and the Double-flowering Thorn. The 

 Common and the varieties of the Holly ; the Por- 

 tugal and Common Laurel; together with the 

 foiribre Yew, when properly difpofed in the lawn 

 or the park, either in iingle trees or in groups, 

 and judicioufly confcrafted, afford a pleafmg variety 

 to the eye, and give an air of livelinefs and gran- 

 deur to the place, unknown where fuch are abfent. 



After what we have faid in January refpecling 

 the preparation of pits far thefe, we need hardly 

 again inculcate the propriety of bringing a portion 

 of good foil a if neceflary, to encourage the intend- 

 ed occupier in its progrefs ; or repeat, that the 

 pits for receiving detached ornamental and hedge-
