HANDLE TREES WITH CARE
By w. r. GILBERT

To my mind, there is not half enough
attention paid to the way trees are
put into the hole when planting. Some
people think that because trees have
roots they should grow nearly on top
of every ditch in the country.
For ten years planted trees yearly.
Half the trees / planted the first year
failed because / didn't know how to
plant properly | said to myself there
was something wrong somewhere,
either in the trees or in my want of
knowing how to plant.
l experimental couple of years
and found out the secret of my failure
Half of the young trees are nearly use
less for planting, on account of the
way that they are pulled at the
nurseries.
Some men, when they go pulling
trees in the nurseries, pull away Just
as though they were pulling turnips in
a hurry. slapping the roots together
and throwing them away as if they
were no more than rotten limbs.
Young trees, to my mind, should be
handled as carefully as eggs. They
should be dug out of the ground.
When the roots are strained in the
pulling they grow the first year badly
and then die away. l examined the
roots of dozen young trees; there
were two strained. and | cut the roots
short in two more, for experiments
sake.

Will be complete.
There are more of these last-named
silk skirts than usual this year. and
though most of them are of tailored
character, little details giving hint
of dressiness are added to some of
the models, and the materials. when of
good quality, bring these skirts into
harmony with separate blouses a

strained grew nearly right the first
year and died the second year, and
the ones that | cut little of the roots

The roots, when planting. should be
spread out evenly in broad hole. not
deep, the roots just barely covered.
Where some, or most people, perhaps,
make the mistake is in sticking the
roots in bundle in deep hole.
Trees planted in this fashion are
bound to fail. At least it has been my
experience.
Some people give the trees a pull
up after planting. With this method
don't agree. There is no need of
any more handling.

In answer we say that never have we
