It gave him the choice of the natives. He represented therefore a stable and prosperous element of the population. His revenues were becoming enormous. The Hollanders paid him a fortune annually for raw chocolate. This, with tree-planting and culture, would double, for the soil seemed to contain the miraculous properties of alkahest.
I assure you, that I am both proud and happy to serve you in that capacity! "In the beginning, let us consider the art of tree-planting, from the stand-point of an acorn, as being a typical nut or tree-bearing seed, such as I now hold in my hand. "This tiny nut, with such a smooth hard shell of polished brown, contains a kernel with magical possibilities.
In Germany there are regular tree-planting days in which all the people take part. Every one who is not too poor and he must be poor indeed plants a tree in his own garden, or in front of his home, in the forest or in the highway; for himself or for the general good. Each child plants a tree on his or her birthday every year, and watches and cares for it as it grows.
A woman who could go to Hintock House and be friendly with its mistress, enter into the views of its mistress, talk like her, and dress not much unlike her, why, she would hardly be contented with him, a yeoman, now immersed in tree-planting, even though he planted them well.

As the tree-planting farms continue to multiply, the increased rainfall will cause the area of tillable lands, to gradually extend beyond the borders of the arid lands. Therefore in case of necessity, we may turn to these arid lands for relief. In such an event, the question of forestry becomes an important factor.
If a few miles of such avenues as Burghley Park and Chatsworth present, command such admiration, what sentiments would a continuous avenue of trees of equal size from Hartford to New Haven inspire! While on this line of reflection, I will mention a case of monumental tree-planting in New England, not very widely known there.
On that basis of growth the latest return falls nearly four millions short. The sharp demarcation of the western frontier by the grasshopper and the hygrometer is another, which will continue to operate until, by irrigation, tree-planting or some other device, a new climate can be manufactured for the Plains.
