A Gate City reader hands in the
following advice about planting: This
Is good time to plant hardy trees,
shrubs and plants. By planting early
in the month the roots get establish
ed in the soil before cold weather and
are ready to start growth as soon as
the spring opens The ground being
warm in the fall is in the best condl-
ton to stimulate root growth. In the
spring the ground is cold until tbs
sun warns it. The warm sun stimu-
iates bud and leaf growth before the
root is sufficiently established in the
cold ground to supply moisture as fast
as 1t is evaporated from the top ana
the plant frequently shrivels up or
makes a feeble growth which is likely
to he the case in hot, dry season,
like last spring and summer. Neve'
leave plants in the package after be
ing received Always open the pack
age and place the roots in damp soil
and tramp it tight with the foot to ex-
clude the air and do the same whet
you permanently plant them.
