TREE LABELs.--There are several methods
Of preparing labels or fruit and ornamental trees
in order TO distinguish the varieties at maturity
II always appeared to me that labelling trees
after they were transplanted, involved great
deal of useless trouble, besides often endanger-
ing their growth by the pressure of the wires
hy which they are fastened to the trees, |
have adopted the practice of making a little
plan or map Of my grounds, indicating by fig
n'es the position of each tree, shrub and plant
Hereafter, if any Of their mult,ulinous names
are forgotten, have only to refer to my map,
which have roughly drawn upon the blank
leaves of my Thomas's Fruit CuHu-ist, and
can distinguish them at glance Hence, l
hardly see the cui bono of preparing zinc or
other labels, written with indestructable inks
or paints. In the way have indicated su-
rer and never-faing record may be preserved
OF any and every kird OF shrubs, trees and
plants. c. 4. Little Valley, n. Y.-C0ua
