New Principles of Gardening. 
This laft is increafed by large Cuttings, in the Manner as 
directed for Willows, &c. in the firft SeGtion hereof; which 
when plantéd for Stumps, to cut or lop, and thofe for Pol- 
lards, may be planted five, fix, or eight Foot high, of any Thick- 
nefs not exceeding three Inches (or little more) Diameter. 
In the Planting thefe large Cuttings, be careful that neither 
of the Ends be {plit in cutting ; and that the Bark is not difplaced 
inany Part. Plant them about eighteen or twenty Inches deep ; 
and the belt Seafon is Odfober, if your Land is not very wet, 
or February if otherwite. 
Thefe Sorts of Trees, well managed, may be lopp’d every five 
Years, and will turn to a very good Account. 
Into your Foreft, fhady Poplars bring, 
Which from their Seed with equal Vigour Spring.

creafed by large Cuttings, as before directed. 
_ I fhall not trouble my Reader with the feveral forts of Willows, 
feeing that they are all propagated by the fame Method ; and 
_ therefore fhall only add, that no Gentleman fhould be without 
the {melling Willow, which isa Plant of a quick Growth, bears 
a fine fhining broad green Leaf, with beautiful Flowers, delight- 
ful to Bees ; and the fine French yellow Willow, which is of as 
tough a Nature as Whitleather, and: of great Ufe in nailing: 
Fruit-Trees, ‘and other fuch like Works in a Garden. 
(5.) Of Ozzers there are feveral Sorts, and all raifed: asthe. 
preceeding. They love a more Moift or Moorifh Land than 
the Willow or Sallow. 
The proper Diftance to plant Oziers is about two Foot and 
half, or three Foot, mixing Stumps and Pollards together ; and 
the beft Seafon to plant them, is in February. Tis a Plant of 
preanservace for Baskets, ¢. and therefore highly deferves our 
otice.
