they grow with much more difficulty, and commonly 
many of them die ♦, befides, the Planter is affar’d of 
the goodnefs of his Trees, and kind of Fruit, and fo 
avoids being forc’d to replant new Trees, or ft) graft 
again when he might have expefted to enjoy their 
Fruit. Alfo, to this we may add, that thofe that 
have no Nurferies of their own, cannot make large 
Plantations without great Charge. 
Some arc of Opinion that Trees brought up in a 
dry and barren Soil, and then replanted in a better, 
and meeting with frefh Earth, they tyring the better ; 
but Experience tells us, that Trees brought up in a 
hungry Ground, find little Nourifhment there, they 
cut forth but few Roots, and can therefore have but 
fmatl growth of Body, and that moffy and yellcwifh 5 
and tho’ they be afterwards replanted in an excellent 
Soil, having but few Roots, thev are not able to 
draw abundantly that good Nourifhment they there 
meet with, and fo not able to grow to any purpofe ; 
befides, their Bark being already dry and wither’d 
for want of Nourifhment, by reafon of the fmall 
Jvloifture they found in that barren Ground, cannot 
eafily draw up or receive the Sap, when it begins to 
afcend into the Branches : And Experience tells u«, 
that Trees taken from good Ground, have always 
good ftore of Root, the Body ftr.ong and vigorous ; 
and being replanted in a Soil as good, they take 
Root again very eafily, and tyrout with great Force 
and Vigour. 
A Planter ought to know the Fault of his Ground, 
whether it is too dry or too moift, too cold or too hot, 
and then he may eafily know what Dung will amend 
it, provided he know the different qualities of his 
Dung ; fo that if his Ground be too dry, he muft 
moiften it, or too hot and burning, he muft cool it ; if 
Ground is too cold and moift, he muft heat and dry it. 
I fhall fpeak a little of the feveral forts of Dung, 
that the Planter may apply it according to the diffe- 
rent quality and necefiity of his Ground..
