ORNAMENTAL PLANTATIONS. 

 



were thicker planted, and with lefs injury to the 

 trees. 



Sowing Lettuces among young plantations will 

 be found a very profitable crop for feeding fwine. 

 Befides, Lettuces, if a good crop, have this, ad- 

 vantage, that they exhaufc the land very little, if 

 any thing at all. There is no crop that will en- 

 rich the land more than Lettuces, if they be dig- 

 ged down after having grown to a large fize. We 

 have tried this, and found the good effects for fe- 

 veral yesrs after. Carrots form one of the heavieft 

 crops that can be put among young plantations, and' 

 fhonld feldom or never be fovvn among them. 

 Parfnips are much lefs hurtful. 



A rotation of crops among young trees will be 

 found of great ufe. Suppofing a crop of Pota- 

 toes the firft year with dung ; Cabbages may fol- 

 low without dung ; and afterwards Lettuces with- 

 out dung. In the fourth fpring, the ground 

 fhould be fown down with grafs feeds. 



But whatever fort of crop be planted or fown 

 among young trees, care muft be taken not to 

 put the plants fo near the trees as to difturb their 

 roots, either in planting, in working, or in taking 

 up. Above, we have recommended dung as a 

 neceiTary preparation for any of the more fcourg- 

 ing crops. Yet we have found that plantations, 

 made in land of tolerable quality, which had been 

 under rotation of corn crops for agricultural pur- 



pofes,
