Roots of Plants Grow in cold Weather.
Culiivators when they know, do not
sufficiently bear in mind the facts which
physiological writer's teach, that the roots
OF plants grow when that portion of the
plant above the ground is apparently DOR
mant. Lindley states that the roots oil
trees grow in winter, except when actual
ly encased in frozen soil, and argues from
that fact that it is better to plant trees in
the fall and winter than in the spring, be.
cause the extra supply of roofs. before
the spring growth renders the plant bet
ter able to meet the demands for mois-
ture the foliage makes upon it.
Tobacco planters recognise the fact Of
a growth of roots which is out of proper
ton to the growth of leaf. They SOW
their seeds very early, because they know
by experience that at planting time, the
early SOwn will have better roots, though
they may have no more size of leaf. The
cool weather which checks the growth Of
The plant, does not interfere with the ex.
tension of the roots. And small yellow
plants, with large roots, are "tougher"
as it is said, and "stand" better after
iransPlanting than green, vigorous, leafy
PA"n1S' Which, nave grown up IdpIuly from
lately soWn seed, but have little root.
The same fact is observed in the corn
plant. Cool, unfavorable weather, which
allows the plant to make very little pro-
gress for some weeks, does not hinder
the growth Of the root. The roots are
enlarging and extending, and when the
season becomes favorable for growth, il
is better supplied with food and moisture
than the late planted, and makes more
vigorous plant. aud bears better, other
things being equal.
