298 Plan for transplanting large Forest Trees in Parks. 



none being allowed to be curled round or turned up at the 

 ends. It is not necessary, to preserve and carry any earth 

 about the roots. Autumn, immediately that, the leaf is 

 fallen, is the best season for the work ; and by careful prac- 

 tice, according to the method above described, I have had 

 perfect success in transplanting trees of from eight to twenty 

 feet high. 



It must not be thought that, I take upon me to teach how, 

 a well trained young tree from a nursery, or, a thriving one 

 from a young plantation may be transplanted, and made to 

 grow well in a soil not qualified to bear fine timber. I only 

 endeavour to shew to the Society, from my own experience, 

 how grounds, adapted by nature to the growth of fine timber, 

 may be more certainly and speedily furnished with it, than, 

 by the methods, which we have hitherto seen commonly 

 used. 



I have the pleasure to remain, with much regard, yours 



Charles Monck.
