PLANTING. 



PLANTING is not only laudable as an art, 

 gr prefent of the higbcft importance to this 

 illand, but pleafurable as an amufemcnt. 



In Norfolk, I had neither leifure nor oppor- 

 tunity of extending, on a large fcalc, 013/ 

 prt^^tce in this art; but, as far as cbfirvation 

 could inform me, I had every advantage. A 

 pcrfon who had been regularly bred up as a. 

 nurferyman, and who was a credit to the art 

 he profelled, gave me every opportunity of 

 making myfelf fully acquainted with the bu- 

 fmefs of the nurfery, and the manual opera- 

 tions of planting : while a fuite of plantations, 

 of various ages, and in various Jiates, pafiing 

 ; daily under my eye, afforded me an opportu- 

 I 4 tunity.
