INDIANA HORTICULTUKAL SOCIETY. 561 



Mrs. Johnson: There were quite a number of walnuts sprouted in the 

 garden. Do you think I can re-set them? 



Mr. Freeman: Not very well. You would not have very good success 

 if you did. 



A Delegate: The acceptable time is in the fall? 



Mr. Freeman: Yes, I would advise that. 



A Delegate: I set out my catalpas a year ago last fall, and when 

 spring came they were out on the ground. Would that be the same with 

 the walnut? 



Mr. Freeman: I think not. Some soils will heave out if there is 

 considerable freezing and thawing. If you plant in the fall plant deeper. 

 I planted some in the fall and planted them rather deep and they did 

 nicely. I would advise planting in the spring, however. 



A Delegate: At what age would you commence trimming trees? 



Mr. Freeman: I think not before three years. 



A Delegate: If you intended to plant walnuts would you put them in 

 the ground this fall? 



Mr. Freeman: Yes, I should. The rule is to plant a seed twice as 

 deep as it is thick. 



Prof. Latta: Would you plant them where you wanted them to 

 grow ? 



Mr. Freeman: Yes, sir. 



Prof. Weigle: What is the distance apart you advise in planting? 



Mr. Freeman: I advise five feet. You may think that is too close, 

 but I think it is all right. 



Mr. Scott: Would you advise planting the seed of the catalpa? 



Mr. Freeman: I would get the trees of a nurseryman and then trans- 

 plant them. 



Mr. Scott: But isn't there several different species? 



Mr. Freeman: Yes, there are four different species, but you are 

 almost sure to get the right kind from a nurseryman. 



A Delegate: Would you advise planting catalpas along the roadway 

 to be used as posts?
