kept clean from weeds-, and if they flioot late in the 



autumn, and their tops are full of fap, they Ihould 



be covered with mats, or fonie other light coverings 



to prevent the early frofts from pinching their tender 



fboots, which often caufes them to die down a con- 



fiderable length before the fpring ; but if they are 



fcreened from thefe early frolb, the fhoots will be- 



^come firmer and better able to reiift the cold. Some

a little care for the two firft winters, but afterward

'oThe black Virginia Walnut is full as hardy as the 



i.cpmmon fort: there are fome large trees of this kind 



.ipthe Chelfea' garden, which have produced great 

 t'. quantities of fruit Upward of forty years ; the nuts 

 i have'^erally ripened fo well there as to grow, but 

 ^ their kernels are fmall, fo are of little value. ^... 



The trees all require the fame culture as the com- 

 t>Mnon Walnut, but they grow beft in a foft loamy foil 

 ..not too 'dry, and where there is a depth of foil for 

 i their roots to run down. The Hickery, when yoiing, 

 r is veiy tough and pliable, fo the fticks of it are much 

 'jjcftecmed; but the wood when grown large. is very 



brittle, fo not of any great ufe. . The black Virginia 

 ii .Walnut is the moft valuable wood of all the Torts ;
