Sida 198 - ... long footstalks. They are of a particular structure, being composed of three lobes, the middlemost of which is shortened in such a manner, that it appears, as if it had been cut off and hollowed at the middle : The two others are rounded off. They are about four or five inches long, and as many broad. They are of two colours ; their upper surface is smooth, and of a stronger green than the lower. They fall off pretty early in autumn ; and the buds for the next year's shoots soon after...
Sida 354 - The Weeping Willow of Babylon will grow to be a large tree ; its branches being long, slender, and pendulous, makes it proper to be planted upon the banks of rivers, ponds, and over springs ; the leaves, also, are long and narrow ; and when any mist or dew falls, a drop of water is seen hanging at their extremities, which, together with their hanging branches, cause a most lugubrious appearance.

Its suckers and seedlings poison the herbage ; and it is a fact well known to the observant husbandman, that the roots of the Alder have a peculiar property of rendering the soil they grow in more moist and rotten than it would be if...
Sida 429 - depends entirely upon the soil : it is the height of folly to plant it upon light sandy soil. There is not, generally speaking, a good elm in the whole county of Norfolk : by the time they arrive •at the size of a man's waist, they begin to decay at the heart ; and, if not taken at the critical time, they presently become useless as timber. This is the case in all light soils : it is in stiff strong land which the elm delights. It is observable, however, that here it grows comparatively slow....

Sida 394 - Hyreos taxi torquentur in arcus, the artists in box most gladly employ it ; and for the cogs of mills, posts to be set in moist grounds, and everlasting axletrees, there is none to be compared with it, likewise for the bodies of lutes, theorbos, &c. yea, and for tankards to drink out of, whatever Pliny report of its shade and fatal fruit in Spain, France, and Arcadia.
Sida 402 - ... being ripe in October, let a dry day be made choice of for gathering them, As these grow at the extremity of the branches, it would be tedious to gather them with the hand ; they may, therefore, be beaten down by a long pole, having a large winnowing sheet, or some such thing spread under the tree to receive them. When you have got a sufficient quantity, spread them in a dry place for a few days, then, having procured a spot of rich garden ground, and having the mold made fine by digging and...
