 Bank, 



The clump on the north-east end of this bank is 

 fast falling into decay ; this has been hastened by 

 the careless manner in which it has been thinned. 

 On an exposed bank of wood of this kind, nothing 

 should be cut out of it after the trees arrive at the 

 height of sixteen feet, when the thinning of all such 

 should be finished. This bank will wholly extirpate 

 itself if not soon filled up ; it should be immediately 

 planted, say all the blanks with the oak, Spanish 

 chesnut, Scotch and spruce firs. 



The strip along the foot of this bank wants a little 

 thinning, and if done in a proper manner will much 

 improve it. When there is a choice, take away the 

 larch firs, as these will never be ornamental^, trees 

 here. From the height of the trees, it must be thin- 

 ned cautiously and gradually. The round clump 



joining the strip should be immediately 



filled up by planting in oak and Spanish chesnut. 

 There is a beech tree, beside a Scotch fir, dead in the 

 top, it should be cut over as a pollard, which will 

 save the lives of both trees for many years. When 

 the pollard is finely topped, take away the Scotch fir. 

 As this is a very conspicuous knoll, the old trees 

 should be all saved and nursed up with care and at- 

 tention.
