Planting Fruit Trees.

The soil SHOULD preferably be n good
filth before planting. and the holes for
the trees should be dug sufficiently
wide and deep to receive all of the
roots of the tree. The harder the soil
the wider and deeper the holes should
be.
Fill in with loose, mellow earth,
packing the soil well around the roots.
Avoid using sod or any coarse mate
rial, or the leaving of air pockets, as
either will cause a drying out around
the roots, which is detrimental to the
tree. Use care and you will be re-
paid with a good stand Of trees.

hard-wooded plants of this description.
1t may also with advantage be Moor
porated along with peat in the prepare,
ton of beds for nearly all plants of the
heath family which are grown out of
doors.
Further, nothing is better suited for
improving flower beds. or for adding
to soil of any description for placing
around trees, shrubs or plants whose
roots it is desired to encourage.
If leaves have to be gathered into a
heap for leaf-mold, a place should be
selected where they may be spread
rather thinly, SO as to avoid any ex-
cessive heating by fermentation.
The whole should be turned over oc-
~casionally so as to expose all parts in
turn to the influence of the weather
and air.
Where air cannot reach leaves that
are of a somewhat dry, hard texture,
their decay is exceedingly slow, unless
there are other substances intermixed
to hasten decomposition.
Water may be applied artificially for
the purpose, but it never has the same
effect as rain, and If a large heap Is
made, this latter cannot penetrate far
into the interior.
Leaves should be collected free from
sticks, e possible. as these are liable
to encourage fungoid growths, which
finding a suitable medium for increas
ing in the leaf-mold, will in due course
render it useless for plant cultivation.
The time taken in reducing leaves
to a mold or fine soil depends great
ly on the amount of turning over aEt
other attention devoted to the prepare
ton.
Much may be done IN one year, OF
even less, but the quality is usual,
better if a longer time than this is al
lowed.
