when transplanted in the spring, have grown vigor-

may be useful to mention to those who arc unac-
qusinted with the proper mode of procedure, that
the ground should be ding or ploughed deep and late
in the autumn, left rough all winter, and after being
narrowed or raked smooth in the spring, the cut

at such distances, as will permit the intervals to be
easy kept Clean Those who possess white null
berry trees will find their profit in preparing the
seeds for sale. This may be dc.e by rubbing them
out from the ripe fruit between the hand in the wa

The successful experiments in the culture of silk

made, and are now making in Connecticut and Phil
