The mulberry, the locust, &c, but it appears TO
us, that there is one particular tree, which is
likely TO be in great demand, the culture of
which has been unreasonably neglected. We
mean the Birch and we are somewhat sur
prscd that our agricultural societies have not
offered premium for its cultivation, as il is
certain that tho native growth will soon be ex-
haustod. The virtues of this tree have long
been known and appreciated, in the business OF
education some doubts have, indeed, been
suggested by modern innovators, as to the utli-
~ Of its application; but the decision of the
boston School Committee in n recent case, will
doubtless settle the question, aud establish the
prerogative Of Birch above all the trees Of the
