or clumps of planting properly laid out and reared 

 on these farms, so far from taking off the yearly rental, 

 that it would actually add to it by affording shelter for 

 cattle, &c., and add fifty per cent, of intrinsic value 

 to the property. I have marked off, at the same time 

 valued, a few reserve trees, so that they may be either 

 sold with the lots, or at any time after, as the proprie- 

 tor then may think proper ; these are left more with 

 St view to show what was on the ground at cutting 

 time, than to add to the value of next cutting, as 

 many of them will never be much better, and may be 

 cut away after the other trees come up, to cover the 

 bare face of the bank. From the manner that these 

 trees are marked, along the top of the bank, it will 

 show that it was more with a view to improve the 

 place than to make money of it, that the present 

 proprietor cut the woods. The value of each of 

 these reserve trees are given, each by themselves, so 

 that either the whole or any number may be taken 

 out at any time, and their value known ; a list of those 

 trees, with the value of each is given ; with this is 

 also sent the articles of sale with regard to cutting, &c»
