HARDY ORCHIDS | 
as mentioned in the article on Hardy Orchids in 
this issue of THE GarpDEN MaGazine. These 
orchids give uniqueness to the wild garden, and 
while some of them are difficult to grow in cultiva- 
tion, others, like the large yellow and white lady’s 
slippers, orchis spectabilis and the like, transplant 
and thrive as easily as ferns. 
A garden of this order will delight you with the charm of its 
unfolding ferns ane delicate woodland flowers, bringing the 
freshness of the woods and delight of the meadows, adding 
another charm to your home. 
e have been studying and growing this class of plants for 
25 years and shall be glad to help you in your selection. 
Send for my illustrated catalogue of over 50 pages, which 
tells much about this class of plants.

Plant Evergreens in August 
| eee planting of evergreen trees is goy- 
erned by conditions quite different 
from those relating to deciduous trees. As 
leaves are on the tree at all times, there is a 
constant demand on the roots to supply 
water to the top, and they can do this best 
when the soil is warm, and when growth is be- 
ing made. 
Therefore planting is done a full month 
before the dry heat of summer begins, or the 
winter cold arrives. May and August are the 
two best possible months. 
The roots of coniferous evergreens are 
resinous, and if they ever become dry or 
chilled in moving, they never recover, and 
the tree dies; therefore the greatest care must 
be taken from the time the plant is taken 
from the soil until it is put in its new position, 
to keep the roots from drying out. 
When taken from the ground, the roots 
should be at once puddled, that is dipped 
into a mixture of clay and water about the 
consistency of cream. This will give a coat- 
ing of earth, and will largely check drying 
out. Wrap around the ball of earth some 
damp sacking. ‘This is what the good nur- 
serymen do when you buy of them. It costs 
a little more, perhaps, but it more than pays 
for the time and trouble. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Dig the hole larger than the ball, and take 
out any stones that there may have been in 
the soil. Loosen up with a pick the hard 
soil in the bottom of the hole, and throw in 
the stones, for drainage. When ready to put 
the tree in the hole, remove the wrapping, 
examine the roots, to see if any of them have 
been injured in digging or shipping. If so, 
carefully trim, making a clean, square cut 
from the inner side of the root. 
I have found it good practice to partially 
fill the hole with soil after the plant has been 
set, then to take hold of the stem and lift the 
plant up and down an inch two or three times. 
This works the soil in among the loose roots. 
Give a good watering, to complete the pack- 
ing of the soil among the fine roots. 
Now finish filling up the hole, and make 
the soil firm by tramping. After the tree 
is set, give a very thorough watering, having 
first made an embankment around the tree, 
to hold the water. Give at least three gal- 
lons to a plant two feet high. 
Finally, mulch the soil about the tree, so 
as to keep the moisture in the soil; use straw 
or litter six or eight inches deep. ‘There is 
little else that can be done to induce the plant 
to grow, unless it is syringing, which I believe 
it is wise to do daily.
