To Avoid Harming Roots.

Another plan 10 avoid when taking uD
the young plant by the roots. when
transplanting comes. IS 70 make small
paper cones. only about two and A half
inches high, using newspaper for mate
rial and pasting the edges together, and
plant the seed In them as in the egg
shells.
These paper cones are easier 10 handle
than the egg shells, and can be crowded
little closer together in the fat, and
when the transplanting takes place. as
the little plant in its cone is held over
the place in the garden bed where IL +
10 be placed. the right hand can be used
10 snip of. with a pair OF shears about
half an inch or more from the low er emo
Of the cone. just as the cone IS ct in
the ground. As the plant gro rs II
throws its roots down through the hole
IN the bottom Of the cone and becomes
perfectly independent Of IT,
Have the hole in the garden bed into
which The cone or shell IS 10 be placed
thoroughly wet and warm, either with
sunshine or warm water. and keep the
plants shieL5ed for some days from the
strong sunSline-and even more care
