Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Larch Disease and the Present Condition of the Larch Plantations in Great Britain
Situation. He notices the white and red ?owering varieties, remarking that the former do not seem to be so vigorous as the latter. It is rather singular that, in treating on their cultivation, he should recommend that, if any of them incline their heads downwards, to thrust a small stake into the ground, and to fasten their heads upright thereto; for if they are suffered to grow on one side while young, they are rarely to be reduced to an upright figure again. And further, he says, you must observe to train their heads upright, and not suffer them to grow awry, which they are naturally too much inclined to do. Thus they seem to have been, soon after their first introduction, dis posed to droop their leading shoots, just as the deodar does with us at present.
