Watch NeWIy-Plante3 Trees,

The present season has been all that
could be desired for trees and plants
set iast spring. 1t has been cool and
wet, excellent for the development of
toilage. The moist weather giyinr
| abundant foliage has developed plenty
OF root, but this root like that Of any
plants in saturated soil is superficial. ii
The season had been less wet, the root
growth would have been less, but it
would have been deeper. The ten davs
without rain in this vicinity during the
last of July, caused greater distress to
corn and garden crops than would have
been the case from three weeks of
drought in an ordinarily dry season
Trees planted last spring and not
watered showed unmistakable sions of
suffering. Those who understood their
business prevented this, by giving the
soil good soaking once week.
The difficulty with those planters who
have not studied the nature of the
plants they cultivate isthat they seldom
give water enough. They water often
enough, sometimes too Often but super
ficially. 1t is dissipated by the first
sun, and scarcely reaches the roots at
all. Let us illustrate in this way: The
water III a rond that is one foot deep
has the same number Of superficial feet
ior evaporation, as the pond four or
more feet deep. So it is with super
ilcial watering. The inch or two of
surface moistened IS soon dried out,
the roots having received almost no
good from the watering.
In the case of continual superficial
waterings the disability to the tree is
intensified; the roots extend nearer and
nearer the surface rather than down
ward. The autumn finds the tree with
all its roots near the surface, and the
next season, if dry one, often kills it
outright. In fact the second season is
considered to be the most critical in the
life OF u recently planted tree if it be
deficient in rain. Hence the planter of
ornamental trees and shrubs will see
the necessity of careful watching of
planted trees, especially such as have
not made fair leaf growth, toraccording
to the amount OF leaf growth so will be
the root, for it is well known that there
is no root growth until the leaves
expand; and, hence, again, the reason
why an evergreen may be planted at any
season, and for the reason that the
leaves are always more or less active.
In fact dcciduous trees may be most
successfully planted when in leaf if only
the leaves be kept from willing. So
also it is we'll known that tree with
plenty of top will make roots faster
than tree cut nearly or quite to a bare
pole.
Science then, in tree planting, is to
see first, that they never suffer for
want OF mo sture at the roots; and sec
ond, that the roots be induced to strike
deep rs quickly as possible. Prairie

when the time comes to make out the
