We give the inclosed here in order to repeat advice to a New York correspondent that may be useful to others elsewhere: "Can you give me any advice as to how to destroy or get rid of chicory when it gets possession of a lawn? lam asked the question by a lady who has tried every means to extirpate the plant. She has dosed it with salt, and she has pulled it up by the root; but it will grow again in greater quantity from the portion of the root that breaks off".

[No plant can live long, no matter if it is as persistent as the Poison Vine, if we prevent it from making new leaves. As soon as the young and tender leaves appear, cut the whole plant off just under the ground. A second crop may possibly appear, when cut them again. We have known a feeble attempt to make a third crop of leaves, when another cutting ends the effort. If the leaves are permitted to get mature, food will be sent down into the roots which can then successfully resist the cutting out. It is essential to cut while the leaves are very young. Any tough weed can easily be destroyed in this way. - Ed. G. M.J
