Caring for TranspIanted Trees.

1t is well the first year a large tree
is transplanted to put tile at its
base or a square box five or six inches
in diameter, in an upright position,
and stimulate the tree by pouring
down soap suds or other water. This
furnishes sub-irrigation and allows but
little of the water to evaporate.
Trees should also be dug around
from time to time If rapid growth is
desired. A tree can grow up in sod
and practically stand still or by the
use of manure and cultivation it can
be made to grow as fast as desired.
The sod method is frequently followed
by the man who has no time to spend
on the convenience and appearance of
his place.

years to develop a Towering bulb from
the seed. A noted scientist who was
believed to be an authority on lily
growing, stated that "In three or four
years at most, Towering bulbs will
be produced from seed if the young
plants are properly treated" While
the experiments of the Department of
Agriculture have shown that some seed
lings are longer than others in coming
into bloom, yet when these do flower,
they reward all the cultivator's labor
by producing great amount of flow
ers-instances being known of plants
with from ten to fourteen flowers at
one time.
Hybrid Philippine Lily.
The Bureau of Plant Industry of
the Department of Agriculture last
year took up the problem of shorten
ing the time of growing, as any short
ening in the time Of growth represents
so much gain to the cultivator. With
this in view the Department imported
species Of lily from the Philippines
which was known to bear flowers in
from two to three months after plant
ing of the bulb. This lily has been
crossed with the common Easter lily
and the 1t has been q hybrid
bearing as many flowers as the old
Bermuda lily, with no difference in ap
pearance from this plant, except that
the hybrid will develop in four or five
months, representing a shortening ir
time of from one to three months
While the experiments of the Depart
ment are not yet completed, the re
suits attained so far warrant the be
lief that the new hybrid Easter Lily
can be produced cheaper than the ole
variety which blooms not less thar
from six to eight mouths after plant
| ing of the bulb

plants can be grown which are en-
tirely free from disease, and most i'm
portant Of all, that the seedlings give
an opportunity to select better types
than exist at the present time.
The very best of these seedlings,
some Of which will undoubtedly show
superiority in several ways over the
parents, can be retained for seeds, and
by keeping up the system of selection
there will develop in very few years
strains from seed which will be proven
Of great value.
George w. Oliver, the plant propa-
gator of the Department of Agriculture
has been working on this particular
line for a number of years, with every
indication of success. In some in
stances he has obtained blooming
plants in from to 8 months from
termination of the seed, while in re-
cent trials, as many as twelve mag
nificent blossoms have been cut from
plant within fourteen months after
the plant has shown itself above
ground.
In order to further this class ol
work, the Department Of Agriculture
has obtained plots of land in Californis
and Oregon where it is believed the
Easter lily can be grown as profitably
if not more so, than it is in either Ber
muda or Japan.
A point greatly in favor of raising

Green MaHuring.

Very sandy soils are more apt to
show beneficial effect than heavy soils
from plowing under green crops as
compared with applications of fertil-
izers or manures, for the reason that
in such soils fertilizer or manure
teaches quickly away, whereas the
humus afforded by the green crop is
more entirely retained, itself adding to
the body of the SOIL Sandy soils, too,
are nearly all deficient in vegetable
mold, and green manure is the easiest
and cheapest method of supplying this
factor.
Charlevoix county herald., 1906-04-07

The general policy OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture has been to en-
deavor to produce at home such plants
as are grown abroad and shipped into
the United States. This is just as true
with regard to luxuries as to neces-
stiles, and especially apropos is its
reference to the Bermuda or Easter
Lily. For some years efforts have been
made to cultivate successfully the
Easter lily in the Southeastern States,
but it has been found that the climate
of that section is not as favorable for
the lily bulbs as it is in the Bermudas
and Japan.
Experiments have demonstrated that
bulbs of the Easter lily can be carried
over a season in cold storage, with q
result that they are benefited very
materially as it subjects them to a
condition approaching that existing in
Japan, the native country of the spe-
cies, where the bulbs are heavily COW
cred with snow during the resting
period. This discovery has opened
new possibilities in the cultivation of
the lily. Heretofore, bulbs have been
planted in some parts of the South
early in the fall, with the result that
they sprouted considerably before cool
weather set in. When severe weather,
such as the South gets at some periods
of the winter, does come, this growth
is killed and the plant more or less in
jured. During the period before com
ing into bloom, the plants rendered
sickly during the winter often suffer
severely from lack of moisture, result
ing in poorly developed bulbs.

proved methods of selection and cul-
tivation, would undoubtedly be eventu-
ally a good policy for the growers to
pursue, yet, except in the case of the
more progressive growers, there Is lit
tie likelihood of this being done, as it
would materially decrease the revenue
from lily farming for the time being.
This will readily be understood when
it is stated that an acre of lilies will
bring from $1,000 to $4,000. Some
growers on the islands who thoroughly
appreciate the Importance of careful
methods are using small bulbs in
preference to scales, and are selecting
and fertilizing carefully, but they are
heavily handicapped by the many
small growers who cultivate their
crops according to old methods; and
in these cases there is no selection
with a view to producing and perpetu-
ating good types. Little manure is
used. The methods of propagation are
very faulty and they have not been
changed since the beginning OF the In
dustry in the islands. For instance,
in the growing of the bulbs for Amer
lean markets the smaller sizes are
planted in the fall and harvested In
July, or before the bulbs have thorough
ly ripened. In the process of handling,
many of the immature scales drop
from the bulbs. These are not thrown
away, as they ought to be, but are
carefully saved and planted with view
to raising small bulbs. These bulbs
ultimately form a large part OF the
general crop.
AS result of all these conditions
the bulbs marketed by Bermuda have
become impregnated with disease, so
that, at the present time it is almost
impossible to secure a bulb or plant
which does not show some trace Of di.
sease.
The American Method.
Investigations made by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture have shown that
by the use of seeds instead Of scales
larger bulbs can be secured in a much
shorter time than can be produced by
the scale method Moreover, It has
been demonstrated that in this way
