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 . The first cut represents a beech withthe side branches shortened when young. The other represents it when thebranches have been taken off close tothe stem, after the head has made suffi-cient progress to keep the stem in avigorous growing state. 173 When beeches are designed for orna-mental trees near gentlemens houses, forshelter, or to hide any particular object,they then require a different managementagain, by only just shortening the extre-mities of the longest straggling brancheswhen they have extended as far as it iswished, and to shorten all the strongleaders but one, if forked trees are notwished for. For ornament and shelter on the out-sides of plantations, and for hiding un-sightly objects, no tree answers so well asthe beech, as it will branch or feather (as itis sometimes termed) down to the ground,and by shortening the branches at theextremities, they will thicken by pro-ducing more small ones, which with theirnumerous leaves will make a thick skreen,and, being so durable
