THE CARE OF OLD TREES.
Wood Ashes and Bonedust Tonic
When Ivy Is Injurious.

From the Baltimore Sun
Some valuable information regarding
the care and treatment OF old shade
trees is given by n. F. Flitton, super
intendent of the Clifton district of the
park system and one of the most prom
inent horticulturists in the state
When nature has reached the limit
of time at which she can send the in
vigorating sap over large surface a
surgical operation has become neces-
sity for prolonging the life of the
tree" he said. The head must be
shortened to within the line to which
the sap can easily reach. The applica-
ton of stimulants will not accomplish
this.
After the branches are shortened
In, however. little persuader in the
shape of bonedust and wood ashes, the
one in the autumn and the other in
the spring. would act as an excellent
tonic Please kindly bear in mind that
there are many grand old trees now
passed into a state of decreptitude that
would have thrived for good many
years had the proper attention been
given them at the right time. Dead
wood is a load that no tree can carry
without injury. and should be prompt
ly removed.
Why is it necessary to put bonedust
IN holes and scatter ashes on the sur
face9
The bone is needed there, and 1T is
not desirable that it should be carried
off by rains or melting SHOWS. Scatter
SOIL on the surface after the bone is
put on and rub it into the holes with
the back of a wooden rake. Scatter a
good coat of Canada hardwood. I'M
leached ashes in the spring. 1t will
leach down and Will not wash away.

Take q line and tie 1t loosely around
The tree so that it will turn on it, hav-
Ing one free end. Describe circle six
or eight feet from the bole of tree
lengthen the line foot for each circle
and continue to fifteen or eighteen feet
from the tree. Make holes about four
inches deep and about foot apart on
each circle. Put about gill In each
hole. BY counting you will find that
there are several hundred, and you will
readily ascertain the quantity required
incidentally. if you have some aged
fruit trees which are not bearing salts
factory fruit or not carrying to ma
turity what they do bear, they will re-
spond to the treatment recommended
for forest trees
The planting OF so-called English
IVY to climb on young, healthy trees is
not to be commended. On the health of
old trees having rough. thick bark Ivy
mas no appreciable effect when the
growth is confined to the body of the
tree. Any climber permitted to ramble
out over the branches is a positive in
jury to health. Ivy is not parasite, as
many suppose. but derives its sus-
tenance from the earth. You may, IL
the trees have passed their useful
ness. permit the ivy to grow as 1T
pleases. If the trees have some vigor
yet do not permit the ivy to grow, OK
Cept on the body and the bases of tho
large branches. and no injury to the
tree Will result"
