In planting young trees they should
be set about an inch deeper than they

Nasturtiums and morning glortes
should be planted wherever there is
anything to train them on.
Just as soon as frost is out and the
ground dry enough it will be time to
set out the strawberry plants.
The ground for Strawberries must
be dug over very deeply and as early
in the spring as it can be worked.

is wrong. The roots of aged apple
trees are all over the orchard They
reach out beyond the ends of the

roots are not at the body OF the tree.
