Planting Trees.

The trees being snugly heeled-iD. do
not plant until the weather Is settled,
especially until the long wind storms
are over. These winds are dangerous
and shrivel up the bark and DESTROY
the verdure of the buds, which the
roots cannot yet supply with moisture.
IL the trees come to hand early this
spring, IL Is best to heel them in until
the weather gets warm. If trees after
a long journey in warm weather are
found to have the buds started and
the bark shriveIed, trim them back.
end cut each branch back to sound,
dormant bud. Then dig trench In
suitable soil, and lay IN the trees one
by one, taking care that in filling In
every part OF she shriveled bark Is in
contact with the moist soil Cover all
completely, root and branch. taking
care that the labels are properly pre-
served. When the trees are taken up
at the end Of week or more, the bark
will be found completely restored. Ex-
anime the roots and prune the mntila-
ted ones with smooth cut. Prune
the tops into proper shape. Some uur-
series give large head, while Others
