curiosity ; there is to be seen many fine healthy 

 and large trees, two beech and a Scotch fir, grow- 

 ing out between each, and that to within a few 

 inches of each other, and some of them averag- 

 ing in girth upwards of seven feet. This, I con- 

 fess, is wholly new to me. I have never, in all 

 the course of my profession, met with any thing 

 equal to it ; say different kinds of trees growing as it 

 were from the same root, and that too in a straight 

 row, to such a size and degree of perfection. These 

 trees are well worthy the inspection of strangers. 

 Observe, it is no rarity to see one of the same species 

 grow from the same roots to the size, &c. ; but trees 

 of different species, and so much so as beech and 

 Scotch fir ; these trees are worthy the proprietor's 

 attention, and should be kept up with care. Two of 

 the beech trees here should be topped as a pollard 

 about 17 or 18 feet up from the ground, allowing all 

 the branches to remain under that height. This will 

 give scope to all the three, &c. In the bank along 

 the foot on the north side, are some fine Spanish 

 chesnuts, which should be relieved to get scope to 

 become ornamental trees. This bank being a con- 

 tinuation of the last bank, wants all a little thinning. 

 Strangers visiting the beautiful mansion of Powers- 

 court should never leave the place without seeing 

 these trees.
