The nrft, fecond, and third Sorts 

 grow to be large Trees, and are 

 therefore proper for large Quarters 

 of flowering Trees, efpeciaily the 

 firft, which will grow to be eighteen 

 or twenty Feet high. Their Seafon 

 of flowering is in May, at which 

 time they aftbrd a very agreeable 

 Profpect ; efpeciaily that Sort with 

 long pendulous Flowers, which is 

 by Jar the moll beautiful Kind. 



Thefe are all propagated by fow- 

 ing their Seeds (which they afford in 

 plenty) in March, on a Bed of pood 



frefh light Earth, fifting a little 

 Mould over them about half an Inch 

 thick, and in about a Month's time 

 the Plants will come up ; you muft 

 therefore keep them clear from 

 Weeds; and if the Seafon mould 

 prove dry, you mull often refrefh 

 them with Water, which will great- 

 ly promote their Growth. In this 

 Bed they may remain until Oclober 

 following, when you may tranfplant 

 them into a Nuriery, in Rows three 

 Feet Diitance, and one Foot afun- 

 dcr in the Rows; being careful not 

 to break the Roots, which are very- 

 tender, as alfo to water and mulch 

 their Roots, to prevent the Sun and 

 Wind front drying their Fibres. 

 This Nurfery mull aifo be kept very 

 clear from Weeds, and every Spring 

 the Ground between the Rows fliould 

 be dug, to icofen tne Earth, and de- 

 ftroy the Weeds. In this Nurfery 

 they may remain two or three Years, 

 according to the Progrefs they make, 

 or as the Ground where they are 

 to be planted is ready; but however, 

 if they Hand longer than three Years, 

 every other Tree mould be remov'd, 

 or elfe they Ihould at firll be planted 

 at a much greater Diitance; for 

 otherwife their Roots will intermix, 

 and render it difficult to remove 

 them fafely. The Seafon for tranf- 

 planting thefe Trees is either in 

 Oclober or February ; obfervmg to 

 mulch and water them as before. 



Thefe Trees are of quick Growth, 

 efpeciaily if they like the Soil in 

 which they are planted. When this 

 has been the Cafe, I have known the 

 nril Sort rife to upward of fevert 

 Feet in two Years from Seed, and 

 in three or four Years will produce 

 plentv of Flowers : fo that they 

 Ihould not remain more than two 

 Years in the Nurfery, before the)-* 

 are tranfplanted out for good, when 

 they grow fo vigorously; for thefe
