Summary. 



On the ■ lu;^li hunl of All'iMta, i)l;iiii:i' 

 ^lioiilil conf-ii-t chii'lly of maples, Kii- ' 

 ]io|ilar ami willow ( Aciite-h-avcd varirtyi. 

 The jioplars anil willows ripen up earlier 

 anil snflCr less from early frosts. 



The owner of sm-h plantation nied 

 feel f^rt-atly (li^appointol if the Mam: 

 maple is killcil back repeateijiy ami bei-omc.-' 

 a nieie bu.>-h. It is intenileil to shaile the 

 gronml in the plantation in order that the 

 lietter trees will ^row rapidly. It is in the 

 plantations for this ]inrpo>e, and will do it 

 (piite as well as a ltii>h. Hy and by the 

 more raj)itl jjrowin^ trees will 'Im-Hit it un,! 

 give it a ehanee. 



If a tree or two dies in a plantation ot 

 1,0(MI trees, the owner need not worry, lie 

 does not grow imiividiial s-talks of wheat but 

 whole fields, and he (-hould think of the plan 

 tation in the ^ame way. One or two tree^ 

 le!-s or more makes no difference in a large 

 ]dantation. 



Kemeinber that jtroper previous prepara- 

 tion is half way to success, and it means far 

 less work later on. 



Cultivation done at the ri;^ht time only 

 takes about half the time it does when ne- 

 glected a few days, and the re>ults are never 

 so good. 



Hreak in the llu.-h of the growing foiuon. 



Always back set soil, and never leave it 

 over six weeks after it is broken. 



The finer the tilth the better the growth. 



Half a day with a fork digging out *' 

 jiatclies of blue joint grass the summer a 

 the tree-'are planteil \»ill save many a swejit 

 afterwards. 



The 'blue-joint' should never be all 

 to spread in from the soil at the Hide-- •"
