New Principles of Gardening, 
for the Root of the Tree, then place your Tree therein, and 
with your Hands place or {pread all fuch Roots as are necef- 
fary, in a borizontal Pofition, pouring thereon the Pap before 
prepared, and putting frefh Mold about the outward Part 
thereof, till it has caufed the Pap to rife and mix itfelf with 
every Root in general, and flows out above the Crown of the 
Root, treading it now and then very gently to force it up in 
the hollow Parts of the Roots ; then fill up the Hole, making 
a Cup about it, which fill up with rotten Horfe-Dung, and 
in two Hours the Tree will be fix’d. This Way of planting is - 
very good for Zews, Holleys, and all other fbrous-rooted Trees. 
*Tis alfo an excellent Method for planting very large Trees; 
and according to this Manner of planting, that celebrated 
Planter the Honourable James Jounstone of Twickenham, 
has planted fome Thoufands of Fruit, Forefi-Trees, and Ever- 
Greens, with great Succefs. 
Lafily, To preferve the Roots of new-planted Trees from 
the Cold of the Winter, and Heat of the Summer, lay about 
the Stem of every Tree good rotten Horfe-Dung, without long 
Litter, Fern, &c. for that breeds Worms, Ants, and other 
Vermin injurious to Fruit-Trees. 
Let the Thicknefs of the Dung be about four Inches, or 
not quite fo much, covering it thinly with a little Mold; and 
if your Land be dry or hot, form the Dung and Mold in the 
Form of a Dib or Cup, to receive the Water, which muft be 
carefully given dufing all dry Sea/fons, both of Spring and 
Summer.
