Summer Meeting. 109 



of the peach trees, eighteen feet from the barn, and further out of 

 the wind, only lost a few of the top twigs. One peach tree, moved 

 to a place a little out of my daily observation, died. I think I neg- 

 lected to keep it as well watered as I did the others. 



Of course, this experiment is on too small a scale to be of much 

 value. I would like to see it tried if any one is so unfortunate as 

 to be obliged to move trees in the summer. 



Yours truly, 



Hiram Long.
