Sowing Sycamores. 



Sycamores, like elms, are very liable to be kill-* 

 ed at the briering by late frofls. It would there-

Sycamores mould never be fown in rich rhoifl 

 land, elfe they will rife fo tall and foft, that not 

 one of a thoufand of them will have a whole top ; 

 and hence will be little worth.

 If 'they can be raifed three or four inches high, 

 with whole tops, in the firft year, a thoufand of 

 thefe are worth twenty thoufand of fuch as are % 

 or eighteen inches high without tops.
