Preparing Trees for Planting.

DR.. George Thurber gives valuable advice
on tree planting in the American Agricultur-
ist: "Nurservmen, while they sometimes de-
prive a tree of a large share of its roots by
hurried and careless digging, usually send
the purchaser the full quantity of branches.
The inexperienced tree planter Judges of the
quality of a nursery tree by the size of the
top. When he is told that at least one-halt
of the top should be cut away before the tree
is planted he thinks he knows better, and sets
out the trees just as they came from the
nursery. The many poor, struggling orchards
all over the country bear witness to the gen.
eral neglect of the proper preparation Of the
trees before planting A novice has great
reluctance TO use knife on the trees. Ii
seems a great waste to cnt off any part
of the trees that he has bought, though he
gives hardly thought to the roots he
has paid for, and which are left in the sol of
the nursery. 1t is within bounds to say that
even when tree is carefully dug. at least
one half of its small fibrous roots-the really
useful and feeding roots-are broken OF cut
off in the operation. This would be of little
consequence were the top of the tree reduced
in the same proportion. Even those who
have given but little study to the growth of
plants will admit in general way, that the
root takes up water from the soil. and that
the leaves evaporate the water thus taken up
1t should need no argument to show that if
half of the absorbing roots are gone, and all
the evaporating surface (the leaves which
viii soon be produced from the buds remains,
this will be in excess and make demand
upon the roots which they cannot supply
Most persons will admit that trouble
will soon come if they spend more than
their income, yet they persist in placing
their trees in the position of spend
thrift. There 10 no one thing so
essential TO the future success of an or
chard as the proper cutting of the tops before
planting. Before the trees are taken to the
ground some careful person, who will use
some thought as well as a sharp knife, should
go over them one by one. Taking each tree
in the left hand. let him turn the roots up
ward. If any of the larger roots show rough
end, from being broken with dull spade,
let them be cut smooth, making slanting
cut on the lower side. If any roots are much
longer than the Others let them be shortened.
The roots being cared for, turn up the tree
and inspect the top. If any of the branches
are badly shaped or crowded cut them out
altogether, and cut back each branch not less
than third of its length; and as a rule, it
will be better in the end to cut away one
half"

On Monday evening next Oliver Doud
Byron will appear in the Opera House In his
play of "Across the Continent"
The ever popular Gus Williams will ap-
pear on Saturday evening, the 17th In his
iaughable play OF ''0ne of the Finest"
G. H. Smith, business manager of "The
Silver King" was In town yesterday making
arrangements for the presentation of that
great play on the 14th, 18th and 10Th insts.
The performance In the Opera House last
evening by Leavitt's Gigantean Minstreis
was poor, but fortunately there was only a
small audience there to be afflicted with 1t.
OF Miss Emma Thursby herself 1t is un-
necessary to speak, as she has made all the
friends It is possible to make for her. But
De Kontski, the great pianist of the troupe,
who makes his first bow to Wilmington
audience at the Opera House this evening,
who is equally great artist In bis line, de-
serves to have attention called to the follow
lowing extracts from Boston and New York
papers: New York Herald, May z, 1888,
saws: ttThe feature of last nights concert
at the Casino was the playing of the Cheva-
lier DE Kontski. He has beautiful touch,
his technique Is extremely brilliant, and he
shows no signs of decreasing strength. Pts
"Reveil du Lion" is u very famous concert
piece, and has gone all over the world. The
audience became so enthusiastic over his
playing that it insisted on his giving encore
pieces after each Of those set down on the
program"
The Boston EVeni,g Transcript, Monday,
May %. 1888, says AS a pianist, Chevalier
De Kontski is astounding. The strength,
the volumL of tone he can draw from the
| instrument, are phenomenal and no matter
how loudly he made the pianoforte roar and
thunder, his tone is always agreeable and
musical. He never descends to mere banging
HIS touch in pianissimo is delightful. He
has vast variety of charming and dazzling
effects at his command, which lie produces
with masters ease. He plays with infinite
elegance, with genuine feeling, too, and
carries an audience along with him without
| effort"

The Stock OF Goods Displayed at the
Jewellery Store of O. #. Rudolph.
The opening OF G. F. Rudolph, watch
maker and jeweler, at 23l Market street,
took place this morning, and the large
stock that he has displayed for sale will re-
pay visit by anyone desiring goods of per-
feet design and elegant workmanship. Be.
sides the usual assortment of jewelry,
watches and silverware usually found In a
hrst-class jewelry store, he has displayed
French plaque clocks In bronze, mounted
on plush and in bas relief. on
paintings on porcelain, arranged as
plaques by the eminent artist
Fuchs, bronze panels mounted on
solid walnut panels, representing Minerva
and other representations from mythology.
bronze clocks and figures, gold and silver
bronze figures, clocks, ,urns, and vases,
besides most beautiful female figure In
solid bronze holding an urn of flowers. 1he
figure stands feet inches high and Is one
of the most beautiful pieces OF workmanship
ever displayed in this city.
Mr.. Rudolph was also fortunate to obtain
several very valuable and beautiful pieces
OF the genuine Dresden china, which he has
displayed in connection with aIarge number
of bisque figures and Christmas novelties at
the rear of the store. A plaque repr, sent
ing tho Dancing fawn" in genuine bronze
is attracting universal attention, as are also
two dining room plaques representing q
partridge and pheasant, in bronze mounted
on plush.
Other articles both beautiful and service
able are displayed in almost endless variety
such as solid and plated silver tea sets of the
latest designs, marble clocks with cathedral
gongs, and variety of other goods all OF
which go to make up one of the largest and
best selected stock ever displayed in this
city.
Last, but not least, is his assortment of
diamonds. His stock OF these precious crys-
tails comprises some of the finest in the
market, made up in earrings, lace pins,
scarf pins, rings and hair ornaments. He
has in stock what is known to the trade as a
gem. The stone weighs about three-fourths
of a cent and has a most beautiful blue cast
and is by odds the handsomest stone in this
State and one of the very few perfect stones
to be had for love or money. A visit to the
store will well repay the time spent in view
ing this complete stock.
