The box should then be burled outside to prevent drying out and to allow tbe frost to crock tbe nuts, or the box may be kept in a cellar, but with less satisfactory results. Another good plan la to make a shallow hole In tbe ground outside, spread out tbe nuts and cover with two or three Inches of soil and leave them there until spring. In the spring the nuts and acorns may either be planted where they are to remain permanently or else in rows three feet part. The aoorai should not be planted more than two Inches deep, and the walnuts not more than three Inches. u V V! : VI .V... .W.
