BOUTCHER (Wm.).
A Treatise on Forest-Trees:
containing not only the best methods of their culture hitherto
practised, but a variety of new and useful discoveries, the result
of many repeated experiments: as also plain directions for
removing most of the valuable kinds of forest-trees, to the height
of thirty feet and upwards, with certain success; and, on the
same principles, (with as certain success) for transplanting
hedges of sundry Kinds, which will at once resist sattle: to
which are added, directions for the disposition, planting, and
culture of hedges, by observing which, they will be handsomer
and stronger fences in five years, than they now usually are in
ten. By William Boutcher, nurseryman, at Comely-Garden,
