With all my heart I wish we had more such men as Mr. Sargent. Men who will try things, and then, after trial, tell us what they have amounted to. Many a man of taste is disposed to try a new plant, or a variety of plants in his grounds, but on thinking the subject all over, his fear of failure overcomes his zeal, and he prudently buttons up his pocket and concludes to save his money and his solicitude, rather than hazard both on a doubtful issue. These notes of Mr. Sargent are particularly valuable for several reasons. His position is a central one, exposed to great vicissitudes of change in temperature. His soil not naturally inviting and grateful to the evergreen family at large. His variety extraordinarily extensive for this country - and the past winter, from which his notes are drawn, the most severe of modern date. These circumstances combine to make the notes of Mr. Sargent, with the editorial memoranda accompanying them, of exceeding interest to all evergreen planters.
