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 . %. ski*. These two cuts represent larches andoaks at the same distance, and of thesame years planting, not shortened, left 187to chance, or part of the lower branchesof the larches cut off close at the stem,which must shew the difference of thetwo modes in a striking point of view. Having said so much about planting,it will be supposed I might say whatkinds of trees would be best, but thatdepends upon taste, local situation, andother circumstances dependant thereon,so that it is rather a difficult point; how-ever, I hope, without presumption, I maysubmit my opinion on the subject. In a general way, I would plant chieflyoak and larch, as, from what I have shewn,larch comes soonest to profit, and an ex-cellent nurse to the oaks, provided you re-move her in time, or she will soon spoilthem, varying the proportion accordingto circumstances, because I consider theoak as the most valuable timber. Whenit becomes large enough for pit props, iffound too crowded it may be taken outto advantage; and the
