protection A soil of deep, rich, sandy loam, with a dry or 
gravelly bottom, suit them best. When planted in a position 
where they receive the full glare of the sun in winter, most of this 
class will need more or less protection. The ground should be 
enriched every fall by the addition of well-rotted manure. Sey-
