A series of facts, hints, observations and experiments on the different modes of raining young plantations of oaks : "for future navies" from the acorn, seedling, and larger plants shewing hte difficulties and objections tha thave occurred in the practical part ; with remarks upon the fencing, draining, puring and training young trees a clear and copious statement of the early and great Profits and Advantages which may be derived from Plantations of mixed and various trees, by care and attention and the contrary effects from negligence ; also how trees are retarded or accelerated in growth by the management of young plantations with hints and experimental remarks upon fruit trees ; the whole derived from actual experience on a most extended scale . This plate is a sketch of a hedge ofwhins upon a low bank, or on the evenground, as may be required ; but it will, byclipping it annually, become so thick thata bird cannot pass through it, much lesshares, rabbits, poultry, &c.
