inches deep, In these put a mixture
of half sand and loan, made very
fine, and drop on the top the seeds so
that the seedlings will come up an
inch apart, covering with fine soil.
When the young seedlings are just
above the top Of the soil, keep them
on the dry side, as there is great dan
ger 1T this time Of "damping OH, a

ings at this stage Of their growth.
When they are two inches high

pot off into twoand -ona.halfinch pots
When these are filled with roots
shift the plants into fourinch ones
pinching out the tops to make them
stocky. which will result in more
bloom later on when they are set in
the beds
In the section Of the country in the
latitude of New York start the seeds
in the flats in March, and keep in a
temperature Of sixtytiye degrees
When they get into four-inch pots
they will have to be held back little
by being put into cooler place,
about sixty degrees or they will grow
too spindly Should the season out
side be late, and the plants be in bud
before the time for planting them out
arrives, put them in a cool cellar,
where You can "hold" them for weeks
without injury
general rule to be remembered
by all who grow ANIMALS is that the
seed pods should be picked off as
soon as formed or the flowers cut
before they die, in order to keep them
blooming all the season, as many OF
the finest ones stop blooming as soon
as they have formed perfect seed! -

tation A solution of the problem
will serve as an object lesson of for
elsewhere.
In city parks the kind Of decorative
effect sought is generally secured by
the art of the landscape gardener
rather than by that of the forester.
In the case of Helena there will be
reared not single individuals or small
groups of trees, such as are set in
the conventional park, but true for.
est Later ON the trees may be cut
for timber without in the least inter
fering with the integrity of the park.
A good many cities have parks which
are partly or wholly woodland, pre-
served in it's natural state; but no one
thinks of cutting the timber when il
is grown. Communally owned for
ests. however, maintained primarily
as productive properties, are not I'M
known in Europe. The educationai
value OF such a forest is well worth
consideration A knowledge OF what
forestry means would be a good deal
more common in this country if other
towns would initiate the example sci
by Helena.
In order to secure thoroughly

park project, the Helena Improvements
Society awaited itself of the coopera-
tive offer of the government forest
service, which places its trained for

wish 10 establish plantations of forest
trees. During the summer repre-
sentative made study of the condi-
lions on the ground, and, as a result,

submitted to the society.
The proposed park contains about

acres already covered with young

some timber is growing Planting

Western yellow pine and red fir are
the trees recommended for most OF
this area. These species compose
nearly all of the present stand, so
that their adapability to existing con
ditiOns of soil and climate may be de
pended upon. Besides this, they are
among the most stately and also the
most valuable trees of the western
forest Finally, seed from these
trees is readily obtained in abundance
in the neighborhood, so that ease
and economy in the planting opera
