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 . These cuts represent two young beechtrees, where they have room in their na-tural state, the branches not This cut represents a beech growingforked, where it has had less room at the 171 parting of the two main brandies, isgenerally a hollow that holds water, andwhen the trees grow large extends a goodway down the stem, and spoils them whenthey are young and have their branchesshortened, as I have been such shoots as these occur, one ofthem should be cut off close to the stemat first, that the place may heal over,particularly where it is as strong orstronger than the leader; but experience,with a little observation, will soon teach aperson what should be shortened or cutoff; if it appears likely to prevent thestem swelling in a regular and even form,it would be better to cut it off, particularlyif there be plenty of smaller branches nearit ; but, I believe, if the branches areshortened in time, the stem would swellin a regular even form, without cuttingvery few if any of them close at thisearly period, as every branch so cut offdeprives it of so much means of increasingi
