I have racoived a gront many lotters which it was impossible to answor, and among thoso of & con- gratulatory character is ono from Mr, Allan him- wolf, tho great tree-grower and bost authority on forost-cnlturo In the Wost. Sinco writing my otber lotter, T inve soon Mr, Allin, at Omnha, and had & long and moat interceting couversa- tlon with him, o gavome many now idens about o now subjoct,—* forest-planting,"—and somo of thero, especially relating to overgreens, are worth writing up. ' Bpoaking of tho EUROPEAN LAROH, Mr. Allangnid: “I know much haa boen said, both by practical horticulturists and tho journals, againat thistree; but Ihave unshakon faith:in’ its valuo as a timber-troo, and I predict for it gront future popularity. Mr, Schofleld, of Iili- nols, a gront practical plantor, ham given it o thorough trial in largo tracts, and is unqualified in his praiso of it. It combines durability and sdaptability, grows upright, and 1 scro of it will produce as much timber na 7 acres of oak or walnut. A pound of soed will raiso 20,000 plants, which shiould be transported as oatly as possible in the spring, onro boing taken to have tho new ground thoroughly in order, They sbould bo ratgod In the nursery, transplanted when 1 yoar old, and sot out in rows, the shoots boing about: 6 Inches apart. When 2 years old thoy will lave gained strong fibrous roots, and should then be transplanted again to the forest where thoy aro to remain. ‘Tho plants should bo ralsed as noar ns possiblo to tho forest whoro thoy are {o be planted, as ono of the groat caugos of failuro of forost-trees ia tho bad condition in which plants aro recolved whon brought from a long distauce. I consider Mr. Bchofleld’s plan of planting pines 12 feot apart, and filling up tho rest of tho ground with larch, an oxceollont idea. At1Gor 20 yoars of 8ge o orop of Inrch can be removed, leaving a fino pine-forest on the land. An ncre of larch 20 yoars old {8 worth 8150, Anacre of pine-timber 25 yonrs old will be worth 87,500, I snw o pine- treo grown in Otos County, Neb., which was 13 yoara old and a foot in dinmeter. A row of pines in Douglas County grow last yoar 80 inches. To succoed well with larch, sow tho sced oarly in tho upring, and always transplant before the Dbuds begiu to opon,” EVERGREENH. Bpeaking of overgreens, 3r. Allan said: “The great point ia to have a carefully-prepared secd- bed. If planted on common prairie-soil, it should bo well mixed with sand, aud thoroughly pulver- iged, Whothor sown in rowa or broadeast, tho socd should be lightly covered, and a acreen of Iath or brond strips placod racund the bods, which, for convenience, should Lo about four foot wide, and the weeds well kept out, If tho sosson is very dry, shado tho bods a littlo, sud ghower thom occasionally. In tho fall, cover thom with leaves or straw ; and, in the spring, soloct and set outin the nurdory tho largest plants, TPeople are ofton discouraged at tho slow growlh of evorgroons. They grow vory slowly for two or threo years, but then ndvanco rapidly in size and boauty. Now-boginners will gavo much time by getting from practical growors plants two or throe years old. ' THE WHITE PINE, or Pinus Btrobus, aa it is called, is, I think, our noblest evorgroon, Twenty dollars onght to purchaso enough young pives, oighteen to They should bo set ont eight feot apart, in rows, with rows on larch, or any othor tall-growing tree, between the rows of pino, Low, branching troes would Intorforo with tho young pines, and break off their torminal buds during high winds, Deeldu- ous treos will draw up the pinos straight, aud, 08 usual, whon thiclly planted, at ten yoars of sge, thoy will loko their lowor limbs, and havo a smooth trunk. Cut away the othor trocs g nocoasl requires, until nothing but tho ;?mua remaln on the ground, At twonty yours -of age, many of the pinos originolly planted 8 foot apart will havo ta bo cut away to mako room for tho othors, 1 know a pine planted 15 years ago which i8 now 80 fect lugh and a foot in diamotor. Mad it ‘beon in n grove it would perhaps have been 10 or 20 feot higher. When grown by themsolvos, the pino trocs sproad out, sud thoir large honds make & fino shade; but it spoils them for tim- ber and fuel, the trunk in such cases fixing tho valuo of the tree. M, Schofiold says a white- ino foront, artificinlly grown, will, in' 60 yoars, Bu 100 feot high, and tho {reca averago 2 feot in diametor. About 500 on an acre of land. “ NORWAY BPRUCE is ono of the most beautiful of ornamentel troes, and, for gcroons or Dbolts, oul{ oquuled by tho red codar, Fruit-growera on the Plniis should always plant it as a protection to their orchards. 1t is just the tree for a windy caumr{‘, is hardy, can bo planted ot light cxpenso, and Vins o rapid growth, Tho limb sro olpstle, -nud will not ensily broak with ice or enow.
