Spring Planting. 

 This is a season of the year when 

 the garden lover is full of enthusiasm 

 and anticipation. This is the season 

 when the largest amount of planting is 

 done. Do not delay longer than is 

 necessary after the frost is well out 

 of the ground. Many kinds of stock 

 are quite long suffering, however, and 

 will still thrive even though subjected 

 to late planting and other harsh treat- 

 ment. Many successful plantings are 

 made even well up into June where 

 exceptional facilities for special care 

 are at command. 



. Fall Planting. 

 With most trees fall planting is very 

 successful, especially where carefully 

 grown nursery stock is used. If plant- 

 ing is properly done at this season it 

 gives ample opportunity for the earth 

 to become normally firm again about 

 the roots before another growth starts 

 It also gives opportunity for the cut 

 off root ends to heal over or callous 

 and when spring time encourages new 

 growth of root and top the plant suf- 

 fers no further setback. Fall is al- 

 ways a season of comparative leisure

 requirements at the planting time. 

 Enemies. 

 The foliage of newly planted trees is 

 very important to their welfare, and a 

 watch should be kept for any enemies 

 that "will injure it. If such appear 

 they should be promptly removed. 

 This is not a difficult task but one that 

 must not be neglected.
