BY ALBINXJS. 
The pleasure I experience in perusing the very interesting commu- 
nications I met with in the last number of the Horticultural Regis- 
ter, respecting the management and improvement of forest trees, 
would have been much increased, had notice been taken of the effects 
of Ivy (Hedera helix) which encircles and binds in particular the oak : 
first by impeding its luxuriance and gi'owth, and ultimately, when it 
has acquired sufficient strength, destroying the tree, which, had it 
not been for this vegetable boa-constrictor, would have reared its head 
amidst the forest for ages, in all its natural strength and beauty. I 
am the more particular on this head, having lately had an opportu- 
nity of traversing several woods in the county of Kent, of some ex- 
tent, and observing with much regret the effects of this formidable 
creeper, strongly indicative of the great indifference of those entrust- 
ed with the care of such property, in having permitted au jeneipy. ..of

subject are scattered through so many books, that I think you would 
do well to abstract them as they appear, giving the substance insbcJflt, 
I say short, because you have one or two communicatoins in late 
numbers which might have been much condensed. Experiments are
