TREE FACTS AND FANo1Es.

In Arcadia, the children in the schools
after seeing that their immediate sur
roundings and the grassy lanes about
them are made pleasant with fruit and
shade trees, are said, in spirit of frolic-
some gladness, to select one nearby home
after another in that country of good will,
and plant about it until the entire neigh
borhood has caught the charm.
The requirement in certain part of
Germany that no pupil shall receive gradu-
alton papers who has not planted one or
more growing trees, is wise and full of sug-
gestion.
Year by year the winters in Russia are
becoming colder the summer hotter, dryer
and less fruitful, owing to the clearing of
the woodlands which has caused evapora-
tiOn to such an extent that many once
capaciOus water courses are turned to
swamp or desert land. There are oaks in
England planted before the Norman Con
quest, yews still older.
An oriental proverb worthy to be re-
membered is With time and patience
each leaf Of the mulberry becomes the
softest silk"
The most remarkable trees as to size are
the baobab Of Africa, the conifere of Up
per California. the banyan of India, the
lindens of Germany, and the oaks and
yews of England. There is an Arabian
proverb that, with the planting of tree, a
blessing comes to him who drops the seed.
A strange avenue of trees is owned by
the Duke of Argyll, and it is year by year
growing longer. Each of the trees in this
avenue has been planted by some notable
person, and brass plate is fastened to the
iron fencing surrounding the trees, signi-
flying by whom it was planted. Whenever
any remarkable guest visits Inverary Cas-
tie, he is invited by the Duke to plant a
tree in this avenue. which is situated on
the banks Of Loeb Fyne.
There are some sixty or seventy species
of the maple, nearly half of them belong
ing to China and Japan. In North Amer
lea only nine species occur.
The people of ancient Greece believed
that in every tree dwelt a protecting
nymph, or dryad. These dryads were
thought to perish with the trees which has
been their abodes, and with which they
had come into existence. To willfully des-
troy tree was therefore, an impious act,
and very often severely punished.
Trees grow much faster and to greater
perfection in the United States than in
European countries.

RULES FOR TREE PLANTING.

According to The Cultivator, the fol-
lowing rules should be observed for sue
cessful tree-planting;
First, prepare the ground. Let the soil
be deeply and thoroughly mellowed
Take up the tree with plenty Of roots
long enough TO hold 1t erect without stalk
ing. If the roots are bruised, pare of the
bruised portions.
Shorten in the head enough to cores
pond with the loss in cutting the roots; al
ways do this before the buds swell.
Spread the roots equally on all sides and
ill in finely pulyerized soil, leaving no
crevices or cavities.
Plant no deeper than before taking up,
but raise the earth an inch or two to allow
for settling.
Allow for the length of the roots as great
as the height of the tree and cultivate to a
corresponding distance.
Never set young trees in a grass field, but
always where the ground can be cultivated
and made mellow.
If the roots chance to be frozen when out
of the ground, they may be restored with
out injury If compactly buried in mellow
soil before thawing. If thawed when ex-
posed, they will perish.
Watering tree in dry weather only vets
and crusts the surface A few inches of
the top surface should be removed before
watering.
