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 cut represents a young oak fastened to a larch to make it grow crooked. 166. ~^i^?}rtvr~-~ This cut represents an oak trained fornaval purposes, with only two shoots leftat the first formation. Beeches must be treated in a verydifferent manner, if designed for timbertrees, as clear straight stems are requisitein those trees ; the branches may be short-ened the same as the oak till they arriveto 14 or 15 feet high, or as high as aperson can reach with a light hook long-handled, to shorten any stragglers or suchas are likely to make it grow forked,and only the most upright and strongestshoot should be suffered to grow withoutshortening for a leader. 167 When the trees have arrived to a suffi-cient height with straight stems, and haveformed good heads sufficient to increasethe stem of the tree without the aid ofthe lower ones that have been shortened,they may be cut off close to the stem ;for beech branches will endure in a livingstate upon the trees till the stem hasswelled a foot or two over them, whichmust be very injurious to the timber; anyone who will only
