“ As foon as they come to Hand, foak the 
44 Roots about twelve Hours in Water, where 
44 no Beaft can come at them; then, as foon 
<4 as may be, make the Holes thus: — Take 
<c the Center of each twenty Foot Di fiance 
4 4 from each other, by driving a fhort Stake 
44 therein ; then take the Square of four Foot, 
44 two on each Side of the Center, cutting a- 
44 round it with a Spade ; and then paring the 
44 Turf as thin as may be, lay it in a Heap by 
44 itfelf. Next, you are with a Mattock to 
44 dig up all the very bed of the Earth ; but be 
44 fure dig it no deeper than it is good, left 
4t the Roots fhould meet with a fatal Ifliie by 
44 penetrating the lower bad Soil. Take out 
44 this Earth, break it very fine, and lay it in a 
t£ Heap by itfelf; then put in your Turf cut 
44 into Pieces regularly over the Bottom of the 
44 Hole, and juft cover it with a little of the 
44 Earth before taken out ; then plant the Tree, 
44 and cover the Roots with the Remainder of 
44 the Earth, extending them to their full Ex- 
44 tent, and as regular on each Side as may be, 
44 by flaying them with Sticks till they are 
44 fixed in the Earth. Then take out all the 
44 Sticks, but mind to put on a little Earth 
44 at a Time, often pricking in the Earth with 
44 a Stick between the biggeft Roots, which, if 
4c the Earth is fine, will caufe it to fill up all 
44 the Hollows between each Root: Mind alfo 
44 to raife the Roots once or twice by a mode- 
44 rate Shake, which will caufe the Earth to 
44 fettle
