This species in its natural state seems confined to 

 woods as its place of growth; but the trial that is here 

 mentioned, confirms the opinion that it will grow and 

 thrive in open exposed situations. It is remarkable 

 for the lightness of the produce, in proportion to its 

 bulk. It produces foliage early in the spring in con- 

 siderable abundance; but its nutritive powers appear 

 comparatively little.
