In different years, and in different soils and 

 expositions, these trees and shrubs vary as to 

 their leafing, but they are invariable as to their 

 succession, being bound down to it by Nature

 days on which his respective grains were sown ; 

 and, by comparing these two tables for a num- 

 ber of years, he will be enabled to form an 

 exact calendar for his spring corn. An atten- 

 tion to the discolouring and falling of the leaves 

 of plants will assist him in sowing his winter 

 corn, and teach him to guess at the approach of 

 winter. Towards the end of September, which 

 is the best season for sowing wheat, he will find 

 the leaves of the
