hollow Places left, ‘whee the Banka cannot uk ibeut their Roots, which | 
oftentimes is the Death of many fine Trees. 
THE Method of Planting Trees in Pap, much practisd by that 
great Encourager of Planting and Gardening, the Honourable ames 
Fobnfon of Tavickenbam, is a very fure Way for the well mixing of 
Earth about every {mall Fibre, whereby the Roots are enabled to imbibe 
Moifture with great Force. 
WHEN Lands are wet and cold, plant fhallow, and in the Spring ; 
but if hot and dry, or moderately moift,’a moderate Depth, and as 
foon in the Winter as the Moifture of the Seafon will permit. 
THE Diftance that thefe Plantations of Defence fhould be from the 
Walls or Bounds of your Fruit Plantation, fhould be about 50 or 60 Feet, 
or more if your Land will permit, 
THEIR Diftiinces in the Rows may be 10, 12, 15, 20, re. Feet, 
for as I have already proved that the clofer together Trees are planted, 
the more they afpire in Height, do’c. therefore the nearer they are planted, 
the fooner they will become ufeful. 
BUT it will be convenient that between every Row there be 
left a {ufficient Diftance, that their lower Branches may enjoy a free 
drying Ait, or otherwife they will become faturate with Sap, for want 
of free Perfpiration, and thereby perifh. Forty or fifty Feet between each 
Line is fufficient for Engl/b Elms, Lime Trees, Horfe Chefnuts, ¢o°e; 
but for Abele, Poplars, Withy, 5%. 60 or 70 Feet, which laft fhould 
never be planted but in very wet and cold Land, where the others will 
not thrive. 
IF by the Situation of Hills, Clefts, oc. any Part of your Garden 
is more than ordinary expos‘d to violent Winds, the beft Way to guard 
- them, is to plant Clumps or Platoons of fuch Foreft-Trees that 
are moft natural to the Soil, at proper Diftances, fo as to deftroy the
