Planting Catalina.

6. s. L.. Jonesville.-Thc seed can
be planted In the fall after ii natures,
or kept until spring, as II needs no spe-
ciai treatment to get il to grow. Nur-
sery rows are usually made In good
clean soil. placing them far enough
ping the seeds few inches apart in
the rows and covering them not more
than one inch deep. The surest way to
get seed OF the true catalpa speciosa
is To deal with a thoroughly reliable
seetman who will guarantee the va
riety. Some Of the tender variticS are
more prolific than the hardy in seed
production. hence there Is a temptation
to substitute the inferior seed. But
there is also a difference In the seed.
that Of the hardy speciosa being larger
than the seed of other varieties. The
seeds OF hardy catalpa are described as
being both long. and broad" one and
three fourths to two and threc-fourths
inches in length and one-fourth to
three eighths inches i'm breadth, with
hair well distributed on both ends and
not pencilcd. The seeds OF tender
varieties which are sometimes used by
dishonest parties to adulterate. or as
a substitute for the hardy. ure shorter
and narrower, with less hair on rather
pointed ends and more or less penciled.
The seedlings should he thinncd in the
rows II needed to avoid crowding and
they can be transplanted at one year

When tho two best sprouts which are
left have become strong enough to
