TO BE DONE. 



Iiow and how not to plant. A hole should be prepaied 

 deep enoug-h and wide enough to hold the root system 

 without bending any of its branches. Should any 

 branches be injured, the injured part should be cut off with 

 a sharp knife so as to present a clean, level surface, from 

 which new fibrous I'oots will easily and rapidly spring'. 

 Keep the roots apart and in tiers, working fine earth into 

 all the spaces and using the hands when necessary. Com- 

 press the earth firmly round the roots, puddling with 

 water if there is any difficulty in the matter When com- 

 pleted, the young tree is planted as shown in tiie central 

 figure. Do not make a nari'ow hole and shove in the 

 the roots as shown in the figure to the left, and do not 

 liiave air-spaces among the root branches, as ropresenlcd 

 the figure to the right.

MisiiROO.MS IN Grass. (" -An Enquirer"). — We have 

 ourselves no personal experience in the matter of 

 "spawning " pasture land, but have consulted one of 

 our contributors, who in- 

 forms us that if the bricks 

 are broken up into smiill 

 pieces and inserted about 

 May or June in the turf to 

 a depth of about three 

 inches a crop may be fairly 

 e.xpeeted.
