Page 57 - This species is found growing naturally in Italy and Spain. The leaves are smooth, and deeply sinuated, like winged leaves; some of the sinuses are obtuse, and others end in acute points; they have very short footstalks, the branches are covered with a purplish bark when young; the acorns are long and slender, the cups rough and a little prickly, sitting close to the branches.

Page 51 - ... so that the stripping; off the outer coat is so far from injuring the trees, that it is of real service ; for when it is not taken off, they seldom last longer than fifty or sixty years in. health ; whereas trees which are barked every eight or ten years, will live 150, or more. The bark of a young tree is porous and good for little ; however, it is useful to take it off when the trees are twelve or fifseen years old ; for without this, it will never be good.
