beneficial. for the constant move
ments of the tree tops have tenden-
cy to strengthen and enliven the
whole tree. The difference is easily
to be seen by comparison with those
in sheltered positions. The holes or
pits into which the plants are to be
transplanted, should be severally II
yards distant on back waters, but
where deep alluvial soil is found,
8 or 10 yards are enough. These
distances are necessary, otherwise
the trees not having room to expand
their tops, repel each other and grow
in diagonal positions, and are easily
blown down or overset. Too close
a neighborhood also tends to draw
up the trees into long feeble stems,
shoots, tronds, and small fruit. In a
level, loose soil, the hole should be
cube, of yard and halt, on hill-
sides 2 to2a yards, but in low grounds
half or .three-quarters OF yard deep
with one Yuard square is sufficient.
If tie pits are not wide and sufficient
lg deep, the roots soon appear above
the surface of the surrounding
ground, and the hold upon the earth
is weak, nor is sufficient nourishment
obtained, and the monsoon storms
quickly overturn the tree where the
soil is marshy, though the hole need
only to be large enough to contain
the seed and roots, and in a cold
clayed ground, the holes are filled
with sand and the plant deposited in
it. Again, in low marshes, banks or
terraces should be thrown up and
consolidated previous to planting. If
In any of these cases plants OF two
or three years old are used, the pits
must be at least q yards every way.
The pits should be dug from two to
six months before planting, and then
prepared first by having heaps of
fuel and weeds burned in them, and
subsequently by manuring. The fresh
earth is supposed to be full OF ants
and worms, and itself injurious to the
new plant, and to hinder growth; on
the contrary, there are some planters
who deny this statement and think
the burning and the manure not to
be necessary. In low situated plan
tatlons new holes may be preferred
and quick planting. No time should

a few inches long, they are taken
down and placed in nursery till

in yielding fruit. Once the tender
shoots begin to appear, no great care
is necessary Tor manuring, but sthe
greatest attention should be given
that no cattle or insect, &C., iniure
the shoot itself, else the slightest
blow or abrasian will cause want
of vigour; but on the other hand,
some suppose that unless either ashes

or tbese separately, be applied to the
plsnts every month, want of color
will be visible in the opening leaves,
or ants and other destructive insects
will be tostered. Plants are removed

second or third month, sometimes
even in the fifth month, but rarely
so late az the ninth mouth; but in or
binary cases, if they be transpIanted
six months after the shoot makes it's
first appearance, their safe growth
and vigour may be looked for. In
low-lying lands, however, it is pref
able to have plants OF one years
growth, though they are more diff
cult in managing. The only benefit
to be expected in transplanting older
plants is that the planter looks for an
earlier return, and in planting these
on the banks of rivers or low lands
formed from the wash otthe monsoons,
the crops will not be deficient.
Plants left too long in the nursery
are apt to have the fbrons supports
at the foot of the trondG decay, so
that these hang down, wither, and
dry up, and new tronds and leaves
do not make their appearance for
four or more months, and these gen.
