annual Growth of Trees, „ 
the wood, and are likely to be dead (ides. N° 2 r. was about 
as thick as a walking-ftick in ,730. It does not grow roTnd 
and fmooth, has no dead fide, but feveral deep furrows in it, 
fo that theie two trees feem to grow fafter than they can grow 
well. 
In T 733, N° 23, was about as thick as a pitch-fork (haft. 
The elm, N° 37. was planted with the quick in January, 
1756, and cut down to the ground as that was. It is a kind 
of witch elm, which grow fafter than the upright ones, and 
with great round heads. N° 38. is fo far like a witch elm, that 
at ten feet high it parts into a great head ; but it grows much 
ftraighter and handfomer than that kind of tree generally 
does. 
Planted trees at a diftance from the hedge feem not to grow 
fo large as fown trees in the hedge : whether from the check 
the roots receive in tranfplanting, or that the trees not in hedges 
are more rubbed by the cattle; perhaps both caufes concur 
when the trees are tranfplanted large; but trees fet in quicks, 
when very fmall, do not feem to be hurt by it. I have fome 
oaks fet with the quick, and a row of acorns was fome years 
after fown againO: it; but in between forty and fifty years they 
have not ovei taken the planted ones in fize ; the fown feem 
however inclined to be taller trees than the planted.
