BRIDGE GRATING e

The home gardener is not often
confronted with the problem of saving
trees as shown in one of the accom-
panying illustrations, from the ravages
OF rabbits, Woodchucks or mice. Yet
occasionally suburban gardener loses
tree from this cause. If taken
promptly the tree can be saved. Long
shoots, preferably of the preceding sea-
sons growth, are used as scions Water
sprouts, such as often occur in the
center of the tree, are we'll adapted
to the purpose. Both ends are sharp
ened wedge shaped and inserted under
the bark above and below the wound.
placing the scion in the direction it
normally grew. The scions are held in
place with brads or thin nails. Several
scions should be used as shown in the
picture. The essential operation is, as
in cleft grating or any other type of
grating. to make definite contact be-
tween the soft green underbark of the
scion and that of the tree. The whole
surface may very well be painted with
soft grating wax or paraffin, but it is
necessary to thoroughly cover the points
of union of the Scions and the bark.
This is just the season for successful
work, though any time up to actual leaf
breaking should give success. 1t is not
necessary to use scions of the same
variety, but it is essential to use scions
OF the same species--that is, apple for
apple or pear for pear.
Another way to handle the situation
! Is to plant several young nursery trees
. about the base of the wounded tree and
graft the top of the young tree into
the bark above the wound. again using
small nails to hold the scion tightly in
place.
In many instances the best plan may
be to simply dig out the injured tree
and plant new one in its place; bu,
very often one desires to save favorite
tree. or choice variety. and bridge
grating is the only means offered. OF
course, if the girdling is not complete
scions are not necessary, but the edges
of the chewed bark should be trimmed

CRASS, flowers, shrubs, trees-all
~ plants-are like human beings.
They areliving things. Theymust be fed.
They need plenty of nourishing
food for health and vigor. They re-
quire balanced diet, just as wedo.
Without it they become sickly and
eventually die.
Yet most lawn failures are caused
by actual starvation. The most ele-
mentary feeding needs have been
neglected.
How can this condition be cor
rected, particularly in cities, where
the best soils are none too good?
The easiest solution, thousands of
home owners have found, is Vigoro.
Vigoro is scientifically prepared,
odorless plant food, originally formu-
lated for gardeners and nurserymen.
Americas finest estates have used it
for years with remarkable success.
And thousands of small home owners
have found it just as effective.
Properly balanced and complete,
Vigoro supplies all the nourishment
