lstic OF Italy, and not elsewhere found, will be dis

COVER UP THE PLANTS.

All Hover roots, grapes, strawberry vines, &C.,
are greatly benefited by some protection through
the winter. And there is something in the time
and way of doing it. Ii applied too early in the
fall ii may induce rottng, and freezing if removed
too early in the spring. The Kind of covering ma
teriais is also of consequence. All plants above
ground must as much breathe, even in winter as
animals; and we have known straw WberrieS, pinks
&c., killed by Il covering, such as fine chips that
did not admit sufficient air; suilocate,l. The very
best covering, if you have them, is thin layer OF
leaves covered with evergreen bougls, and these
latter alone when the leaves arc wanting. Straw
or hay kept in place by boards or sticks does very
we'll but in return they will plant thousands OF
weeds and foul stuff to plague you. So that pos
sible TO get them, the boughs the cheapest and
the best. Such tender things as the Prairie Rose
and some of the honey-suckles do best in this eli
mate covered with 5 or inches of earth. And in
bending down any stiff vines like these, make a
monnd of earth against the side you bend it TO,
they are apt to break ut 50 sharp an angle as the
ground surface would make.
