W HITE CHINESE, or Italian Mulberry: 
‘This is the species which has always been cultivated for. 
rearing silk worms. It is originally from China, but, from 
being so extensively cultivated in Italy, it is more generally 
called the Italian Mulberry. This tree is very easy of cul- 
tivation, and of very rapid growth, and may be reared to 
any extent without difficulty, as it agrees so well with our 
climate, that they are found growing spontaneously in the 
hedges on Long-Island, from seeds which have been scatter- 
ed by the winds or birds. | | 
ENGLISH AND SPANISH FILBERTS. 
These nuts, which are vended in large quantities in our 
markets, grow as well in our climate as the common hazel- 
nut, and produce very abundantly. Such being the case, it 
is hoped, ere long, sufficient will be produced from our own 
soil to supersede the necessity of importation, as plantations 
of this tree would amply remunerate the possessor, or, if 
planted asa hedge, would be found to be very productive. 
COMMON LOCUST. = * 
Within a few years, many of our enterprizing landholders 
have been devoting their attention to planting extensive tracts 
with this tree, the wood of which is inso much request in 
ship building. An acre of these trees planted at two feet. 
Giant each way, will contain 10,890—at three feet ‘distant, 
4,840—and, at four feet distant, 2,722—and it is said no ap- 
propriation of land is more lucrative than that devoted to this 
purpose. 
TA 
| LIQUORICE, 
The Glycyrrhiza glabra, or Liquorice, may be cultivated 
to. equal perfection in the United States, as in any other 
country. It delights in a light rich sandy soil, and the pro- 
duct is so great, that it would yield an immense profit to the 
cultivator. Such being the case, it is to be hoped that the 
time is not far distant when we shall not have to depend on 
England and Spain for eur supply. 
DYER’S MABDER. 
This plant, of so much importance in manufactures, and 
of which we have annually to import large quantities from 
Holland, will succeed in this country as well as in any part
