Most men have been discouiaged in undertaking the work of planting timber, by supposing that all plantations must be made only by planting trees raised by the nurserymen from seeds. A little reflection will correct this error; as well as show that the nurserymen could not possibly supply what ou"ht to be the present demand for trees.

There they should receive a smooth, clean surface and mellow culture, and they will thereby, at least triple their growth while yet small, and sometimes six or eight fold what they would do, if left in hard, uncultivated soil.
