out, eipecially that of a Wood where there are turning
Walks, the Trees of which cannot be ranged one by an-
other ; you have a great deal of Trouble, after the Hole is
made, and the Stake taken away, to plant a Tree without
any Line of Range or Mealure to direct you.

A s an Expedient to rid you of this Trouble, before you
dig the Hole, and take away the Stake, fet four others that
ihall range acrofs the Stake which is to be removed, as you

fee in this Figure. You mould

take care to plant theft Stakes

a little way off the Place where

the Hole is to be made, that the

Earth may be thrown out with-
out covering them. By this

means you may find the Place

of your Tree again, fetting it

dire&ly in the Middle of the f

Hole, lb that the four Stakes k •

range acrols and center upon the

Tree, as they did upon the Stake you took away.
I Think this is all that needs to be laid touching the

Manner of planting the feveral Parts of a Garden. Let us now

proceed to the Care that mould be taken of young Plants, in

order to raife them well.
