Transplanting Evergrcens.

The September number of the Gar
dener's Monthly for 1874 contains an
article by w. C. Strong, of Momentum
Hill Nursery, Brighton, Mass, giving
four reasons for transplanting ever
greens in late summer or early autumn,
from August 10 to September 20. The
fourth reason, viz. that there is greater
certainty of success in planting than at
any other season of the year, induced
me to try the experiment the following
year. On the Goth of August planted
for Mr.. j. W. Sprague, of this place,
thirty Norway spruce trees. A few
days since l examined the trees and
found every one living and growing
finely, the increase the present season
thus far being about ten inches in
diameter and eight inches in height
do not assert positively that August is a
better month than May for this work !;
but would unhesitatingly advise those
intending to plant evergreens to do it
this season rather than wait for another
May. But whether in fall or spring let
these three things be attended to: list,
select small trees; I'd, preserve as many
OF the fibrous roots as possible; Sd,
cover the roots so that they will not be-
come at all dry. Perhaps l should add.
put whatever manure you use on top of
the ground. Josiah Hopes, in his
Book of Evcrgrccns, says; "Men of
experience seldom desire large trees,
knowing full well the baneful effects of
transplanting large evergreens. The
lower branches shed their foliage and
are apt to die, and forever after present
a pitiable sight. Young and healthy
plants, when carefully taken up and
properly replanted, are never subject to
this disagreement, and are almost GER
tain to form handsome specimens."-

Killing Quack Grass.

EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN: - Nv
neighbor Wheeler told me the other
day that he had discovered better
mode Of killing quack grass than any he
had seen given in the papers. He had
very bad patch of it near his house :
was there when he bought the premises,
and some persons predicted he would
never get rid of the pest. 1t had been
worked in various ways for several
years, with no other results than to give
1t fresher start the next spring; and
In May, last year, it looked like q
nice patch of young wheat. He then
took large-sizcd double pillow, like the
michigan" pattern, but of New York
manufacture, and with team to match,
he ran the pillow in full depth, say ten
inches, the forward pillow cutting up the
sod, four or five inches in depth, con.
tanning all the quack roots, and turning
this into the bottom of the furrow, and
the second bringing up four or five
inches of subsoil and turning ii over the
sod, thus burying it 20 deeply as to pre-.
vent the roots from sprouting.
The ground was then planted with corn
and we'll cultivated during the summer,
and scarcely blade Of quack made It's
appearance. On digging up some Of the
buried sod in the fall, the quack roots
were found quite dead. The soil is q
sandy loan, and the season, after pillow.
ing and planting, was pretty dry till
after midsummer. 1t is possible that
the experiment would not prove as eff
fectual in a moist season, but it is Ger.
tainly worth trying. Ifthis very troub,
lesome grass can be killed in the way
described, it will prove an immense
benefit TO persons whose lands are in
iesteu WIN IL. NJ. b. Is.

This is progressive age. New fea-
lures are constantly being introduced,
old theories are revolutiontzed. Music,
which but few years since was I'M
thought of in that connection, has been
introduced in our public schools in many
sections of our country and il has be-
come almost necessity for every fami-
ly to possess either piano or organ, or
both, and it is important that all should
know where the best instruments can be
bought for the least money. Daniel f.
Beatty, Esq, Of Washington, New Jer-
sey, has a world wide reputation for
making the best, and we believe his
prices compare favorably with other
first-class makers. We would earnestly
recommend all TO write TO him for in.
formation before buying. II
