feet tall. The Nyssa Sylvatica, while it grows to sixty feet should 

 be no more than five or six feet high and then pruned to three or 

 four feet. These trees when planted in a damp place or on the 

 stream side, really one may almost see them grow. All trees should 

 be planted with the same careful preparation described in the Sep- 

 tember Garden Journal for evergreens. They may be obtained 

 from almost any nursery. Do not plant too late in the Spring. If 

 they are coming into leaf when placed in the ground they will 

 experience a struggle to survive and often do not survive. When 

 deciduous trees are still in a dormant state, then they should be 

 planted. Their development will come naturally ; the swelling bud, 

 and leaf, and blossom.
