"00 a number of mornings I have,
started work in my brain laboratory
with the thermometer at 50 degrees, but
I find that at such a temperature my

until the thermometer gets up to 56 de-

at all, and than they flow but very', very
slowly, about as fast as gum exudes

not familiar with arboriculture, about as
