ry American forest, that are seldom trans- planted into cultivated grounds, which, if they were exotics, would be cultivated with great expense and care. The Sassa- fras is almost unknown in gardens, and yet, in shape, deep glossy green of the leaf, and aromatic qualities, it is not inferior to the orange, and has, moreover, the advant- age, in being of more rapid growth. It is of a growth nearly as rapid as Lombardy poplar, which after forced popularity, is now deemed the meanest of all trees-yet who can find a grove of sassafras, while there are so many tasteless avenues ofpop- lar. But 1t is a trait in our patriotism to favor foreign productions and neglect bet- ter that we have at home.
 Another neglected tree or shrub is the Sumach, a beautiful plant in shape, leaf and berry, in summer the leaf is green and waves upon its peculiar stem, well contras- ted with it's crimson berries-whcn the first breath of Autumn comes, the whole bush is of color without parallel.
 The Maple, the Ash, and the spoon- wood, i've know no other name for the last,) must be sought in forests, for seldom is good specimen of them found near the llabitation of men. Tho hickory, (and it may surely be praised without connec- ton wirh politics) is when growing in a field and throwing out horizontal branches, one of the most imposing of trees the bush has a rough and ever rugged look, that is rather becoming by the side of the slender twigs and smooth laurel like leaf. There are many other trees, shrubs, aud vines that are transplanted to Europe, and cultivated for their beauty, which no one thinks worthy of care at home. That whicll is familiar is not prized.-BOstOn PGM. TRe PeGch Irec.-From desire to encourage the culture of peach trees, we offer the following as the result of experi- mcnts and observation.
 It is generally known that s0ornss, near the surface of the earth, destroy them by eating the bark the object is therefore to | find preventive, iI order that the trees may become aged in a healthy state.
 It is evident that those worms pass through the common change, and assume the form of millcrs, early in the summer, deposite their eggs in the bark as low as they can find access to it; and that the worms proceeding from them, begin to op. crate in the latter part of the summer when they have been found of the size o common pin. Ifsuffered to remain they grow to the thickness of a rye straw eacl of them girdles the tree about ar inch, anc the wood, from the wound to the heart dies. Hence it is, that a single wound iEn. pairs the vigor of inc tree, and a number of them kill it. The point to be gained, il to protect the tree from the miliers, and by a simple method we have succeeded fol several years, which is recommended witl full confidence. @
 About the first of May, remove tn, earth from the body of the tree, and skir it to the height of fifteen or eighteen inch es, iR sack manner as Co excIgde tke ssig lers, buryiug the lower part in the earth We have used . straw cut Co the leilgtl and about half an inch in thickness, bOunl on with twine. This should be removed
 about the first of September, as ve have lsometimes found the young worms within Ithe upper part of the straw, being shes lreadiIy discovered on the surface of ths
 bark, covered by little gum. The pro cess should be commenced when the tres is young-they have been found in rapit lgrowth, the first fall after it had sprouted
