doing grading, planting, pruning, spray- 

 ing and caring for his customers' 

 grounds, and he finds there is fully as 

 much money in this branch as in the 

 cut flower business. After Memorial 

 day and until the end of September, 

 practically one-third of the year, cut 

 flower and plant sales arc at their low- 

 est ebb, while at the same time the 

 other branch is fairly brisk and, if 

 properly nursed and looked after, will 

 prove a splendid additional source of 

 revenue. 



Now is the time to plant deciduous 

 stock of all kinds, and the earlier it 

 can be finished up the better. Never 

 let the roots become dry. If they do 

 get into this condition be sure to 

 moisten them well at planting time. 

 Windy days are the worst for planting 

 operations and roots should be covered 

 with burlap or mats as a protection. 

 Partially fill the holes, then soak with 

 water and let this drain away before 

 finally filling up the holes. Never use 

 manure about the roots of any trees 

 or shrubs; it is mistaken kindness. Use 

 it on the surface, rather, as a mulch. 

 Shrubs, especially if of a large size, 

 should always be pruned back well at 

 planting time. The same applies to 

 elms, oaks, lindens and other decidu- 

 ous trees. 



It is strange how few florists plant 

 even a small selection of the many de- 

 sirable shrubs about their home 

 grounds or in the field, where customers 

 can inspect them while in flower. Take 

 the many improved and beautiful lilacs, 

 phila<Jelphus of the Lemoinei type, 

 loniceras, viburnums, malus, deutzias 

 and spiraeas, to mention only a few, 

 and what a wealth of splendid material 

 we have! A row, bed or border con- 

 taining a selection of these, correctly 

 labeled, would be one of the best ad- 

 vertisements any country florist could 

 have. This is not to mention hardy 

 herbaceous perennials, for which there 

 is a greater call every year and which 

 any florist can easily and inexpensively 

 stock up on. A whole host can be 

 raised from seed, others by cuttings 

 or division. Do not restrict your trade 

 to one in tender bedding plants. There 

 are many who care naught for these, but 

 to whom the hardy brigade of plants 

 appeal strongly. Equip yourself to meet 

 this coming trade. There will be fre- 

 quent cultural notes in these columns 

 during the year on how to do it.
