These seedlings are upon new land,

lection than they would on old garden

viG1d for the best results with any

tainty In regard to the value OF these
seedlings is what they may DO in other
localities and on different soil. These
questions Mr.. Howard will be able to

to prevent all kinds OF rot in timber :;
one Is to saturato it with lime water !;
