If Mr.. Sweetland had commenced with seeds instead
of trees and those seeds obtained from the most North
ern limit of successful cultiva ion, and from trees
grown upon land far from and high above the sea
shore instead of procuring trees from Long Island be
might have met with success. Still there is an isother-
