It floiu-ishes best in a deep, loose, rich soil, in a cool, moist situation, and is remarkable for the rapidity of its growth and for the ease with which it may be propagated, tlic seeds taking root in any stirred gromid where they alight. It has been supposed that the speedy returns of fuel made by But- tonwood plantations would render its cultivation for that pur- pose more profitable than any other trees, except the jliocust on dry soils. Sow the seeds broadcast in the spring, very thick, in a rich seed-bed of light, fine mould, and rake them in; the young plants are tender and should be screened for several months from the heat of the sun by mats or brushwood; transplant when a year old. The disease to which the Buttonwood was subject for many years seems to be on the decline, (1857.)
