Plautius Trees 81 the ran

The question o. to whether spring
or fall Is tho better season for plant
ing has been much discussed, and the
conclusion reached has generally
been that in western New York and
similar climates ono 10 about a. good
az the other. My experience with
hardy fruit and decidious ornamental
trees is in favor Of fall. 1t 10 true
that we have an occasional severe
winter when fall-plapted trees suffer,
but these are of rare occurrence.
Last fall, quite late, after the hurry
Of the season was all over, l planted
several hundred dwarf pear trees.
After planting, the earth was drawn
up around the base, say six or more
inches above the level of the ground,
to give protection to the roots an
stiffen the tree against the force OF
the wind. May %. I had the earth
around the trees removed to the
groundlevel, and found vigorous new
roots, three to five inches in length
spreading in all directions from the
ounce stock. The tops are also
pushing rapidly, and in the whole
planting Of 900 trees there is not
failure.
It is easy to see what an advantage
these trees have over those planted
in spring, even under the most "a
vorable circumstances-for the latter.
In spring planting it often happens
that a long period Of cold weather
and drying winds follow the planting
and the trees get seriously dried be-
fore the growing season opens, or q
dry and warm period comes before
the roots have acquired vigor enough
to sustain the tree; under such adj
verse influence they either die or lin
ger along feebly all summer.
We must take some risk in planting
at any season, but, on the whole, l
think the chances are In favor Of the
fall for hardy deciduous trees.--P.
Barry, in American Rural Home.
