AMERICAN GARDENER. 35 



haws. They are thus put into a cellar, or other 

 cool place : and here they remain, always about 

 as moist as common earth, until sixteen month's 

 after they are put in ; that is to say, through 

 a winter ', a summer, and another winter ; and 

 then they are sown (in America) as soon as the 

 frost is clean out of the ground. They ought to 

 be sown in little drills ; the drills a foot a part, 

 and the haws about as thick as peas in the drills. 

 Here they come up ; and, when they have stood 

 till the next year, you proceed with them in the 

 manner pointed out in paragraph, 40. 



56. These haws may be had from Liverpool^ 

 from London, or from almost any Port in Great 

 Britain or Ireland. But, they can be had only 

 in the months of November and December. 

 Seldom in the latter ; for, the birds eat them at 

 a very early period. They are ripe early in No- 

 vember ; and, half haws half sand, may be had, 

 I dare say, for two dollars a barrel at any 

 place. Three barrels would fence a farm ! And, 

 as America owes to Europe her Wheat, why be 

 ashamed to add fences to the debt ? But (and 

 with this I conclude,) if there be a resolution 

 formed to throw all lands to common, rather than 

 take the trifling trouble to make live fences, 

 I do hope that my good neighbours will not as- 

 cribe these remarks to any disposition in me to 

 call in question the wisdom of that resolution.
