|?OREST - TREES. 



If the land you intend for large plantations, or to inclofe with 

 hedges of them, is poor or ftiff, I would advife, after digging 

 or trenching it well according to its quality, to lay fome rich 

 mould on the poor, and fome loofe on the ftifF furface of the 

 borders for hedges, or other fpots allotted for the timber-trees, 

 the beginning of v/inter, and point it flightly in before fowing 

 in April. 



The wood of the Evergreen Oak makes excellent Hocks for 

 tools, mallet-heads, axle-trees, wedges, palifadoes, — and fupplies 

 the greateft part of Spain, and the fouth of France, with the heVi, 

 and mod lafling charcoal yet known..
