SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. 
Seeds with very hard shells should be soaked immedi- 
ately before planting to hasten germination. The simplest 
plan is to drop them into quite hot water, about 120 de- 
grees Fahrenheit, until they show signs of swelling up. 
They must not be allowed to become dry again before 
sowing. Some kinds of seeds will lay over one, two or 
even three years, before germinating and it is therefore 
not advisable to condemn them too hastily.

CATALPA SPECIOSA. Of all the trees that have 
been suggested as adapted to the formation of 
timber plantations, the Catalpas stand pre-eminent. 
It is exceedingly rapid in growth, its adaptation 
to most all soils and situations; its wide range of 
latitude; its extraordinary success on the western 
and northern prairies; the ease and certainty with 
which it is transplanted; the strong vitality and 
freedom from disease and insects; the incompar- 
able value of its timber; the almost imperishable 
nature of the wood when used for posts, railroad 
ties and in other exposed situations, and the un- 
rivaled beauty of its flowers, all point to the 
Catalpa as the tree to plant. The yearling Catalpa 
should be cut off above the ground. It will then 
insure a straight and stronger growth the fol- 
lowing season. The same treatment applies on
