Planting Fruit Trees.

WITH respect to proper treatment the
first thing is to get good soil. TO set good
trees ON bad land is like setting down to
dine with empty dishes; there is nothing
to support the growth of the tree, nor
any Iood to supply it with proper nour-
ishment. Therefore il the soil is not al
ready good, it should be made so previous
to planting. If the trees are expect
ed to thrive well, the first thing is to OBJ
tain sufficient depth of soil to enable the
roots to extend themselves freely, and to
hold moisture without drying up in pro-
tracted droughts this may be obtained
by digging large holes eight feet in diam
eter and two feet deep, and filing them
with good earth. The soil should be
kept clean and mellow for many feet
about each tree during the whole season.
Treated in this way the degree OF mOls-
tlre which the earth will retain few
ipches below the surface, compared with
the mesgre supply in hard or grass
grown surface, is surprising, and it rem
ders watering rarely necessary. 1t is
frequent occurrence to find young trees
which have been well transplanted and
properly cared for in the spring, entirely
neglected at midsummer. The soil be-
comes hard, the moisture is withdrawn,
and its fertility lessened by growth of
grass and weeds To remedy this evil
the unskillful water the surface, but in
stead OF reaching the roots, the hard soil
excludes the water, which only
tends to further hardening and bak-
ing of the surface while the roots remain
dry below. Many young trees thus per-
ish in hot weather or surviving, make
feeble growth, and thus are more
liable to destruction from winter frosts.
Where, however, trees have been neg
lected till the period of severe drought,
and where watering becomes necessary,
tho hard surface should be removed as far
down as the roots will admit, and the
water then poured on, and the earth re-
placed. Mellowing the surface and mulch
ing will afterWard prove very beneficial.
Mulching or covering the ground about
the trees with straw and stable litter, or
leaves, will (if timely performed) obyiate
the necessity of watering, even in extreme
cases. Midsummer droughts will scarcely
affect trees thus protected, in connection
with q lean mellow surface. AS the time
required for their fruiting depends very
much ON their management, while the
quality, even more than the amount yield
ed, is influenced by the treatment they re-
,eeive, 1t is well worth some pains and
labor to give them every advantage. AS
soon as the trees arrive from the nursery
they should be planted without delay in
their respective places, previously pre-
pared for them, and be firmly stacked,
Watered and mulched. This will con-
clude nearly oil that ia necessary the first
season, with the exception Of perhaps q
little pruning and pinching in the summer
growths, = GardeneC'S OhrOafcIe.
