gaiflcupi- knows that when the previous seasou has 

 been cold anJ cloudy, and wet, the wood of his 

 fruit trees remains immature, and weak abortive 

 blossoms only are produced. The advantages of 

 having the wood well ripened are perfectly under- 

 stood ; but those which may be obtained whenever 

 a very early crop of fruit is required by ripening 

 the wood very early in the preceding summer, 

 and putting the tree into a state of repose, as soon 

 as possible after it§ wood has become perfectly 

 mature, do not as far as my observation has extend- 

 ed, appear to be at all known to gardeners ; thougli 

 every one who has had in any degree the manage 

 nient of vines in a hot house, must have observed 

 the different effects of the same degrees of tem 

 perature ui)on the same plant, in October and 

 Febrnary. Jn the autumn the plants have just 

 sunk into their winter sleep ; in February they are 

 refreshed and ready to awake again ; and when- 

 ever it is intended prematurely to excite their 

 powers of life into action, the expediency of 

 putting those powers into astate of rest early in 

 the preceding autumn appears obvious.

 OTIS SPEAR, " 3 



Jan. 27, 1832. 



The public are respectfully requested to give the 

 above their atteniion, and reflect whether this subject 

 might not be worthy the consideration of the Legislature, 

 at their present session — especially as so much is now 

 doing throughout the Unite<l States to render traveliin 

 more comfortable and expeditious ; and it 

 fact, that a large portion of our most public roads, al- 

 though constructed and repaired with the best mateiials 

 that can bt obtained where said roads are located, are 

 subject to the very sreat inconvenience of deep ruts. It 

 is presumed if (he General Court woulil offer a bounty to 

 individuals, to establish a given number of the above 

 described wagons, to travel on the most public roads 

 throughout the Commonwealth, as repairers of the same, 

 and for transportation of goods, it would be the means of 

 filling the ruts, and save a large portion of the almost 

 useless expense of repairing roads, and also reconcile the 

 public to tile utility of the broad wheel law. 2w
