At Kursk, in the peasant gardens and nurseries near the town, we see large old trees of it; we see large numbers of young trees, and a large supply of it in their little nurseries. It is the most widely known, and the most largely grown peat in ceutral Russia. The tree is an upright grower, has large, dark, thick leaves, but very slightly crenated, almost smooth-edged, a leaf that stands aridity of air well. One fault this tree has, its branches easily break off from weight of snow, and thus often leave large scars upon the trunk.
