Q. U 



The two firft Sorts are common tti 

 England ; but the Sort whofe Acorns 

 grow on fhort Footftalks, is lefs fre- 

 quent than the other. I have feen 

 feveral Trees of that Kind near Dul- 

 nvich in Surry ; but whether the 

 Acorns of this Sort will produce 

 Trees of the fame Kind, I cannot 

 determine. There are many large 

 Trees of this Kind in Snjfrx, where 

 the Timber of this Sort is efteem'd 

 preferable to the firfl: Sort ; tho', as 

 I have already mention'd; I do hot 

 know if it is fpecifically different 

 from it, having had no Opportunity 

 to raife any of thefe Trees from the 

 Acorns. But the late Duke of Rich' 

 mond had fowed a large Clump with 

 thefe Acorns, a Year before his 

 Death, at his Seat at Good-wood in 

 Suffex ; where his Grace had fowed 

 Clumps of all the different Kinds of 

 Oaks winch he could procure, not 

 only in Europe, but alfo from Ame- 

 rica, and die Levant ; but thefe 

 Plants are at prefent too final! to be 

 diftinguifhed by their Leaves* tho', 

 in a few Year?, it will not be difficult 

 to determine whether the Acorns will 

 always produce the fame Kind as the 

 Trees from whence they were taken^ 

 The Sort with ftrip'd Leaves was 

 obtain'd by Accident ; but may be 

 propagated by budding or grafting 

 it upon the common Oak. The 

 Leaves of this are generally varie- 

 gated with White in a moll beauti- 

 ful manner ; and the Tree is efteem'd 

 a great Curiofity, by fuch as delight 

 in variegated Plants. 



The fourth Kind deferves a Place 

 in WildernefTes, amongft other Sorts 

 of ever-green Trees, where it will 

 make a beautiful Appearance ; but 

 the Timber is not near fo good as 

 that of the common Sort, and it is 

 very rare in England. 



The fifth Kind was originally 

 brought into England from Spain} 



but
