FOREST PLANT ATION *' 



RELIEVING LAST SPRING PI^ANT^D TREES. 



At this feafon, all the fpring planted trees in 

 cirery part of the foreft are to be examined. M a- 

 py of them will be found very much pygrridden 

 by brambles, whins, or coarfe grafles. Thefe are, 

 therefore, carefully to be cut over, by a well fharp- 

 ened fpade, all around the infide of the pit. Iris 

 not requifite, in this cafe, to lift the weeds or 

 haulm off the pit ; only, in cafe of the young 

 tree being bent over, it muft be relieved ; other r 

 wife, the haulm may lye upon the pit around the 

 tree. Spring-fown Oaks will hardly require any 

 attention at this time \ however, as you go through 

 to relieve the nurfe, any oak pit which has been 

 neglected may ajfo be relieved as above advifed 

 for th^ others.
