No. XXXIII. 



Hollow. 



Here are some very fine old English elms, almost 

 the whole of which should be reared as long as time 

 will allow them to stand. In one place where four 

 trees stand in a group, two of the elms may be taken 

 out, say the two worst of the trees, but nothing more. 

 Here are some very fine healthy young Spanish ches- 

 nuts, which should be reared up with great care. As 

 these trees are excellent for ornament, live to a great 

 age, and grow to a great size, as also very profitable 

 to cut down as timber, in all places of the plantation 

 where these are, they should be cultivated with great 

 care. One beech tree will be found here, marked to 

 be taken off one of the best of these chesnuts, which 

 should be done immediately. There has been a fine 

 healthy Spanish chesnut cut here, which is a great 

 pity ; almost any tree should be cut to give scope to 

 this ; but being in an open place I am thoroughly at 

 a loss to discover the reason for taking it out. Some 

 other large trees have been taken out here, for what 

 purpose I cannot devise. There is a fine bank of 

 wood here, down towards the river side, which wants a 

 little thinning, and if done judiciously will much im- 

 prove it. Take out all the bad ash, dress up the 

 stools, and allow them to come up as underwood, 

 which will be fine shelter for game, &c.
