140 On Planting the Moist alluvial Banks of Rivers, fyc. 



In the drainage of old Orchards, where the flooding is but 

 light, running trenches between the rows may be found suf- 

 ficient, by raising the level about the trees with the earth 

 thrown out, as the roots checked in their progress downwards 

 will rise into the soil laid over them, and elevate themselves 

 above the reach of the water. 



I remain, 

 Your very obedient servant, 



John Robertson, 



Killkenny, 

 August 17, 1826.
