with earth to prevent them from being blo-wn 

 about by the wind. The next season they grew 

 four feet, (the young wood died down to where 

 it was covered). The next that I planted I soak- 

 ed in warm water nine days ; I then mixed them 

 with a small quantity of rich earth, and kept 

 them in a moderately warm and shady place un- 

 till about the 20th of May, and almost every seed 

 came up. In the fall I did not cover them up, 

 and the next season they grew only about two 

 feet — only half as much as those that were pro- 

 tected the season previous, though planted on the 

 same ground as those of the year bc-forc. Those 

 that were two years old were not injured at all 

 by the frost, though exposed to the hardest win- 

 ter we have had in fifteen years. There is no 

 need of protecting them, though I thing a good 

 hedge can be obtained sooner with than without 

 it I have one planted, a mixture of Orange and 

 Honey Locust, which, when in full leaf, is beauti- 

 ful, and will be proof against any thing that has 

 not wings. It does the best on high ground, 

 though it will grow on any ground. Isaac H.
