The author ha3 evidently thelatter case in mind when he condemns notch orslit-planting. On suitable soil and with carefulworkmen this system of planting is as productiveof good results, and is vastly cheaper than any,but is very liable to abuse when careless orinexperienced men are employed. The chapter devoted to the natural regenera-tion of woods might well be studied by manyestate owners, especially those in Oak, Ash, andBeech districts. The success of this systemdepends almost entirely upon method and the. Fig. 133.—corydalis thaliotrifolia as crown on the rockery-,royal gardens, kew : flowers white. (see p. 306.) Part II., Formation and Regeneration ofWoods,handles a branch of forestry in which Britishforesters who have had a thoroughly practicaltraining are probably as well skilled as any inEurope. With the single exception perhaps ofnatural regeneration, such work as fencing,draining, and planting is probably as -well donein Great Britain as anywhere ; but the formationof woods by sowing is rarely adopted, althoughin the case of one or two species it might be donewith advantage. In describing a fence adaptedfor nurseries, wire-netting of 1^-inch mesh ismentioned. It may be pointed out that thismesh is not small enough to exclude youngrabbits, and enormous quantities of young hard-woods have been lost through the u?e of this or alarger mesh being used round plantations.
