 without removal, having a tap, or downright root* 

 which is frequently broke in taking up : All trees 

 would probably thus come finer, if it was convenient. 

 The confequence of preferving the tap has been fuf- 

 pefled ; but it is certainly Nature's direction, for rather 

 than give up the point, the tap of the oak will make 

 its way downward, in a direft line, through the hardeft 

 foils. Seepage 80. 



Poplar to propagate by cuttings, fee alder ; but- 

 younger and fmaller cuttings for this tree do better, as 

 thofe of one or two years old, and half a yard long : 

 The black poplar does not fucceed well by truncheons'. 



Walnut, when planted for timber, mould be young, 

 and the tap root, if poffible, preferved whole. The 

 black Virginia** grows more erect, but the other makes 

 the largeft tree, and beft wood. The white Virginian 

 is the hickery nut. All thefe make the bell trees, when 

 grown from feed without tranfpl anting; 



Willow and fallow, to propagate by cuttings, fee* 

 alder.

 the beech, the elm, and the oak, are the principal ; and 

 to plant thefe, and others, is a work of the moll com- 

 mendable, and eventually of the moft profitable kind,.
