Fruit-IIcarimg Trees.

EdHor Hcrdid II have been inter
est,d in what the HERALD has been
saying on the general subject Of tree
planting.
You are right in urging that when
ever tree is cut another should take
its place, aud would add the sugges-
ton Of paying more attention to the
cultivation Of fruit aud nut bearing
trees. There are not many fruits ornuts
which may not be grown in this sec
ton. | visited farm in Lunenburg,
not long since, and found on it a row Of
English wulnuts IN full bearing,
and the nuts were a perfect as any ]
ever saw IN our stores. A home IN the
country, or in town, well supplied with
fruits aud nuts will know no dreary
evenings in the winter time. Make
home more attractive, aud the grocery
store nor the club room will draw
from it. Il.
