70 A TREATISE OF 



retard the growth of the trees for many 

 years. 



I fhall defer the method of planting, 

 till I have fpoken of the management of 

 trees, that are to be fetched from diftant 

 nurferies, which cannot have much earth 

 brought with them 3 but the length of the 

 roots ought to be as great as poffible, as 

 has been befoie direfted: the roots of 

 thofe muft be bared and opened, in the 

 fame manner as the roots of trees which 

 are to be tranfplanted in the fame garden ^ 

 they muft not be too violently pulled by 

 their ftems, but let all their roots be cut 

 thro' with a knife, or fharp fpade, and 

 packed up, as I fhall direft in the ntxt 

 chapter.
