Walnuts fix inches afunder, and two inches deep, along the mid- 

 dle part of thefe materials ; the tender roots thus meeting with 

 oppofition, and unable to penetrate further, will fpread themfelves 

 on the farface of the (tones, 6'c. but not having fo much nou- 

 rilhment or moifture in dry weather as in the open ground, or 

 as may be neceffary to make them grow freely, they will require 

 frequent but gentle waterings, both the firfl and fecond fummer, 

 during which time they muft remain. 



Having flood here two feafons, as early in the autumn as 

 their leaves are decayed, and the flioots hardened, raife them 

 carefully, and, without the fmallefl incifion on root or branch, 

 plant them again fourteen or fixteen inches afunder, on the fame 

 kind of bottom, or any other hard rubbifh that will not invite 

 the roots downward. Thefe materials muft be funk three or four 

 inches deeper, and fix or' eight inches broader than the former, 

 to prevent the roots, having covered their bed, from running deep. 

 At the end of two years, remove the earth from the roots of 

 fome of the plants ; and if you find they have not near covered 

 their bed, they may continue a third year ; but if they have, and 

 are tending downward, they muft be removed : During all the 

 time of their tontinuance here, they will require moderate wa- 

 terings in dry weather. 



Repeat this pradlice once again, making their bedding about 

 three feet broad, and the foil above fifteen or fixteen inches deep ; 

 plant them at two feet afunder, and, as before, without pruning 

 roots or bodies, further than the fmall branches near the root ; 

 and if thefe are rab'd off with your, hand early in fummer, 

 ivhile the fhoots are tender, it will be preferable to the moft fls.il-
