The species are;1. The common or round-leaved alder.2. The long-leaved alder.3. The scarlet alder. These trees delight in a very moist soil, where few others will thrive, and are a great improvement to such lands. They may be also planted on the sides of brooks, and cut for poles every third or fourth year. The wood is used by turners, and will endure long under ground, or in water. These trees are propagated either by planting layers, or truncheons, about three feet in length, in February or March. Philip Miller

   Without the grot, a various silver scene
   Appear’d around, and groves of living green;
   Poplars and alders ever quivering play’d,
   And nodding cypress form’d a fragrant shade. Alexander Pope, Odyss.
