Here is what is said in Vick's Maya
zine; As q rule, cactus plants do not re-
quire large pots, very rich soil or much
water. Excessive moisture is especially
harmful i'll the dull season, when they
arc dormant and are satisfied II only the
soil is not allowed to be come dust dry,
A soil of fibrous loan and sand in equal
parts will suit them. Most kinds can be
kept in somewhat low temperature
30 to 60 degrees-during winter. In
March give them warmer place,
syringe them once day, and when
growth starts give water once day,
but still sparingly. The full sunshine
suits them.

1bers 1t will require less pruning than
if it has but few stout roots devoid Of
1bers.
In a general way, it may be said that
hard wooded trees require severe prun-
ing, while those having soft, sappy
wood need but light pruning, This
does not always apply. A pin oak has
very fbrous roots, as rule and moves
quito easily without much pruning,
though some will consider it advisable
to do severe cutting even in its case. On
the other hand, the laroh, which has a
very soft. sappy wood, but practically
no fbers. and, in fact, but little root,
must be prunod closely to get it to
transplant we'll. Tho illustration shows

TRANSATLANTIC TREES.
Hard Wooded Trees Require Severe Prun-
Ing as u General Huie.


While it is often the case that trees
that die after transplanting do so be-
cause the earth has not been packed in
tightly about the roots, yet q great
many fail from exhaustion from lack of
pruning Az Meehan in his illustrated
monthly explains, tree in full vigor
has enough roots to supply it with all
the sap it needs but ar soon as it Is
trsnsplanted it is unable to draw mois-
ture from the earth until new roots are
made, and the tree again becomes es-
tRblished. All this time the branches
and leaves are drawing on Whist sap
there IS in the tree, and whom this be-
comes exhausted, if new roots have not
yet grown, the tree dies. This explains
why trees die after they have pushed
into leaf, and, in fact, sometimes into
growth.
