TO TELL YOU WHERE TO GET 



The SIMPLICITY SPRAYER 



II 



|N LAST week's Review a reader asked: "Which is the 

 best Spray Pump?" This is the Editor's advice: "We 

 use the Simplicity style of sprayer and like it very 

 much. We like these better than the force-pump 

 sprayer, because after pumping them up you are free 

 to devote all your attention to the spraying. Before we 

 bought this sprayer we used an ordinary brass syringe with 

 good effect, but we find this sprayer a great SAVER, not only 

 of time, but also OF SPRAYING MATERIAL. With a steady 

 spray you walk right along and do not go over a large part 

 of the space a second time, as one is likely to do when atten- 

 tion is drawn away everv few seconds. The sprayer soon 

 pays for itself. A. F. J. B."

diameter at the stock just above the 

 roots f They are growing on a public 

 street and I intend to transplant them 

 to another location. The land would be 

 very hard to dig now, but after the win- 

 ter rains it would be an easy matter. 



W. E. K. 



Speaking in a broad way, the present 

 time is the best season of the year to 

 handle evergreens of the pittosporum 

 type. Or, to be more explicit, I might 

 add that thescf trees should be moved at 

 any time when they can continue to grow 

 without having a setback on account of 

 very cold, frosty weather or exception- 

 ally hot or drying weather. Unlike de- 

 ciduous trees, which should be handled 

 when they are dormant and when the 

 climatic conditions favor a cessation of 

 growth, the evergreens should not have a 

 check of any kind when transplanted, 

 for they either go ahead almost imme- 

 diately or die back in a few days, after 

 which only the most vigorous pruning 

 can save them. 



Although I prefer to handle these 

 trees at Uiis season of the year, in pref- 

 erence to cold, frosty weather, there are 

 several factors to be taken into consid- 

 eration. A tree with a trunk six inches 

 in diameter must be at least ten feet 

 high, and unless the owner wishes to sac- 

 rifice a large portion of the top, a very 

 large ball of earth should be taken, in 

 this case at least thirty inches through. 

 Of course, unless the trees have been 

 growing in a situation where there has 

 been considerable moisture during the 

 summer, the ground will be too hard to 

 permit of such a procedure. It is very 

 easy, however, to soak the soil around 



PANSY PLANTS 



My Giant Market Pansy Plants are tbe finest in 

 the market in size and color. Trom my own 

 homegrown seeds See what Joseph Beach of 

 South Hadley Falls, MahS.. says: "The Pansy 

 Plants that I Kot of yon last fall were first-class in 

 every particular— Plants as well as Flowers. I 

 would never wish any better."

the trees for several days and get the 

 earth soft enough to ball properly. This, 

 of course, would not be true unless the 

 soil were of such consistency as to al- 

 \(fw a proper ball of earth to be made. 

 Should the trees be growing in sandy 

 soil, they should be root-pruned at once 

 and left standing in their respective 

 places until early in the spring, and then 

 transplantetl with as much soil as will 

 stick on the roots. If such a course has 

 to be taken, the trees should be root- 

 pruned to a distance of eighteen inches 

 on all sides of the trunk and thirty 

 inches deep. This will cause the trees, 

 if a few good soakings are given at this 

 time, to make a quantity of fibrous roots, 

 in which case they can be very easily 

 handled, even if but little soil sticks to 

 the roots. 



Should it be impossible to handle the 

 trees under any consideration at this 

 time, I should not touch them until the 

 end of March, when I should carefully 

 ball them and prune them in, say, to 

 three-fourths of their normal size. The 

 only really important item to keep in
