cdUeat against any body taking patent out for the

avowed his determination to defend it on all occa-

FRUIr TREEs. As the season for setting out
fruit trees has arrived, wish to throw out few
hints by the way of caution, against the folly of pur-
chasing Southern trees. 1t well established fact
that trees brought from the SOUTH will not succeed
in New England, and the reasons why they will not
succeed must be obvious every rational mind for
being raised in more congenial cline than ours.
they are forced into an over luxurant growth, and
the consequence is, that when they are removed to
colder cline the change will as sensiby affect
them, as 1t would to transport an inhabant of Afr-
ca, to the northern regions of Russia For proof of
these statements could refer to Orchards in this
vicinity which have been set thirty years, and now
present no prosdect of rewarding the possessor
for his trouble than when planted. Whereas if
northern trees had been set they would now pay the
owners one hundred per cent on the capital invested
Thousand of southern trees are yearly brought to
our cities and sold under the assumed name of west
ern trees, and thousans deceived in this wav
am aware that it Is hard to make many believe that
these are facts but the time not far distant when
they will be acknowledged by every one, and those
who have purchased southern trees will find to their
sorrow that they have been deceived But there is
vast difference in northern trees for some are far
better worth fifty each, than others are twenty
Be careful then, and select good trees and do not paw
so much regard to the size as to the shape and Thrift
tness of trees; but select young thrifty trees if
quite SMALL for they far better than old stouter
ones.-Ereter IN. HI Newsletter
