About this book
Webster's Practical Forestry, by Angus D. Webster, is described as a popular handbook on the rearing and growth of trees for profit or ornament. The preface to the fifth edition says four editions of Practical Forestry have been sold out, and that a fifth is urgently called for. The preface says the whole has now been completely revised and several important chapters added.
The text calls it a mistaken idea that placing the roots at an excessive depth in the soil will better enable the young tree to withstand wind. The text says no better guide as to the depth at which a tree should be planted can be had than the distinct mark on the stem showing the depth at which it stood whilst under nursery management. The text says holly berries require to be placed in sand for about eighteen months so as to rot off the fleshy outer coating, and may be sown in March.
