TREATMENT AND CULTURE OF
HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Seeds Of hardy ANIMALS should he
sown In April or May. according 10 the
latitude, In shallow boxes or pots and
bed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two To four weeks after for
n succession, as well ms to provide
against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed IL u shallow box from two to
three inches deep and Of any conven-
lent size.
The best soil for ali Of the smaller
kinds Is a very fine, rich. sandy loan.
The very best soil Is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land,
piled M In sOds and allowed to rot.for
two or three years and then mixed
with sand and "a little old stable ma
nure.
Give the tiny plants plenty of air
and moisture, yet not too much water.
or they will "dnmp on" Get pots two
inches or more In diameter and plant
the young seedlings nloag the edges
of the pots. so that ms soon as the

roots.
DO not. cover seeds too deeply. This

The exception To this rule Is sweet pea.
which Is seldom planted deep enough.
A good, general rule Is To V only To
the depth Of the thickness of the seeds.
With mcdium-sized seeds like zinneas
and balsams and their kind half an

PLANT TREES AND SHRUB.
Berry
BY ELIZABETH VAN eENTHuYsEN

Looking over your grounds this
spring, note the effect of your plant
ing. II the place lacks trees and
shrubs, plan to make up the lack this
fall.
Don't forget some ornamental trees
and shrubs. Plant them In groups or
sinHy, but always leave open space for
grass.
Cut-leaved birch Is n favorite tree
is %pyramidal In shape with dropping
branches.
The Japanese naples are very beau
tiful. small trees in bush form with
vivid coloring of the cut leaves.
Many shrubs are more beautiful In
foliage than in flower, and some Of
them carry their frui,s through the
winter In bright colors.
In setting trees or shrubs, make n
hole wide enough so that the roots
can be spread out, avoiding twisting
and crowding as much as possible.
Work the soil In about the roots, leav-
ing no spaces, and packing firmly.
Avoid planting trees between the
house and the street in such Il manner
ms tn hide the view from the windows
and doors. To obstruct the outlook Is
very annoying to those confined To III"
house. Trees and %shrubbcry should
be placed so us TO form II background
or setting for the dwelling.
Young trees should hc ,arcfully
watched and the open spaces in the
ground about them, which have been
made by the wind swaying the trees,
should be well iirmcd down.
