 February. The best time is in the autumn. The better the 

 soil U prepared, the faster the trees will grow; hut single 

 trenching, if the drainage is good, is enough. Without perfect 

 drainage, it is useless to plant anytning better than Alders 

 and Willows. No manure is required , but if u could pare 

 and burn the whole field in the course of next summer, you 

 uld gain much more than y<m would lose by waiting one

 It is true that the ingenious French Botanllt has attempted t

 anything may be proved. In fact, we believe that Adolphe
