fi fummer’s growth, cut into lengths of ten or twelve, 
to fifteen or eighteen inches; prune off .he weak or 
bending tops, and planted in a moift part of the nur- 
fery, in rows, a foot to half a yard afunder, they will 
root abundantly well in one year; train them as ob- 
ferved for the layers, pruning off lateral flioots from 
the ftems, by degrees, as they encreafe in height, 
running the leader and other top-ff oots intire; and 
when thev are of Come advanced growth, (hould be 
tranfplanted at wider diftances, in nurfery-rows, two 
feet and a half, to three feet afunder; pr, when of 
three, to four or five feet high, may be planted where 
they are to continue; or, as before intimated, cut¬ 
tings of large growth, in poles or truncheons, of one 
or two inches thick, and a yard or two in depth, may 
be planted, for particular occafions, in moift fituations, 
above-mentioned, principally to remain where plant¬ 
ed, admitting them a foot, to half a yard into the 
ground, they will put forth roots, and advance in 
Itrong top-lhoots. 
Suckers fometimes arifing from the bottom of trees of 
advanced growth, may be dug up, with roots to each, 
in the autumn, winter, or fpring, forming, at once, 
rooted plants, and planted in wide nurfery-lines, to 
grow to a proper fize for final tranfplanting, training 
them for that purpofe, as advifed for the layers and 
cuttings. 
The young trees raifed as above, in the different 
methods, when grown three or four, to fix or eight 
feet high, may be finally tranfplanted in the places 
where they are intended for any of the different occa¬ 
fions before-mentioned; and which may be performed 
in autumn or fpring, or any time during the winter 
months, in open weather; and in their advancing 
growth in the refpe&ive orders of planting, keep 
them trimmed up below, to continue them with clean 
ftems, fix, to eight or ten feet, or more, according as 
they advance to Come confiaerable height; and let the 
whole branch out freely above, in full heads. 
When intended to plant the Poplars as forcft 
trees, for timber ftandards, and for under-wood; 
they may be planted at five or fix, to eight, ten, 
or fifteen feet diftance; and in which, thole planted 
in clofe rows, five or fix feet afunder, wncn of 
feveral years advanced growth, fome may be cut down 
in a thinning manner,,for poles, &c. leaving the fineft 
growths to run for ftandards; the others will fhoot up 
again from the remaining ftools, in feveral ftems from 
each, to fell for under-wood, in fix, eight, or ten 
years; but thofe growing in ftandards, for timber, 
fhould Hand many years, till they acquire a large fize, 
of ten or twelve, to fifteen or eig hteen inches thick¬ 
set, or more, in the ftem, before any are cut down.

Or Plants with Hermaphrodite Flowers, having fix Sta¬

garniffed with largiff and middling, oblong and fpear-

having a fix-parted cup, and a rotated, fprendino-, 
monopetalous coroila, divided into fix parts, contain¬ 
ing fix ftamina, and one ftyle, fucceeded by roundiff 
berries, remaining on the ffrubs all the winter; fur- 
nilhed with fix obtule feeds; and by which, fowed in 
the fpring, the plants arc propagated, likewife by lay¬ 
ers and cuttings.
