numerable and unconquerable Train of Atriplex’s 
now fhoot up for Flower ; ‘and the whole Labour 
of the Spring muft be repeated to extirpate them. 
In the Seed-Beds this Work is tedious, for it | 
mutt all be done by Hand; but it is in no Part 
fo neceffary: the Number and quick Growth 
of thefe wild Crops will ftarve and choak the 
Seedlings, if neglected, in a very few Days. _ 
In the more advanced Growths the Hoe is 
to be ufed, and it will make quick Riddance: but 
’tis among the larger and diftant Plantations that 
moft Good of all will be seis for thefe admit 
the Spade. 
Fewer Weeds rife among thefe Trees. of more 
advanced Growth; but none fhould be fuf- 
fered. 
The whole Groawdh thould this Week be dug 
up, and. the Clots well broke, and this will an- 
fwer the Purpofe of deftroying Weeds moft ef- 
fe€tually, at the fame Time that it gives a vigo- 
rous Growth to the Plantation.

ter, for it makes it detain the Dews. 
When the young Plantations are too much ex- 
pofed to the Sun, they mutt be thaded by a Reed- 
Hedge, and, im Proportion, watered more than 
the others : this will bring them well through the 
prefent Seafon; and they will afterwards require 
much lefs Attention than if they had been neg- 
lected during the prefent Danger.
