Rewards and Fairies 



By RUDYARD KIPUNG 



Says the New York Globe: — " In this book Mr. 

 Kipling has done some of his best work and he is head of 

 them all when he does that." There is the story of "Cold 

 Iron" and the lad who left the People of the Hills for 

 the folk that live in housen, "A Doctor of Medicine," 

 who read in the stars the secret of the Great Plague, and 

 many others. Even Philadelphia and several American 

 heroes appear in these new-old Saxon fairy tales. The 

 stories shimmer in that wondrous halfway place between 

 reality and dream. A tremble and it is world of Flesh 

 and Blood; a flutter and you are with Puck and the 

 People of the Hills. And you slip into it all as if it were 

 the customary thing. The remarkable poem 'If — " is 

 in this volume. Illustrated. $1.50. Also in Pocket 

 Edition. Net, $1.50 (postage 8c.)

More About Fall Planting 



I READ with much interest the various reports 

 in your symposium of experiences concern- 

 ing fall planting, published in the October, 1910, 

 Gaeden Magazine. 



I have been connected with and interested in the 

 nursery business for nearly half a century, and in 

 that time htive observed some changes and have 

 myself adopted some innovations that, at the 

 beginning of my career, would have been consid- 

 ered heretical. 



Joseph Meehan, in one of the trade papers 

 preaches, in season and out of season, the advantage 

 of September planting for deciduous trees, and 

 almost without any limit as to variety. Some 

 years since I tried the practice with a thousand 

 or more Norway maples, an easy subject, with 

 marked success, but discovered that certain injury 

 resulted if all the leaves were taken off. It is 

 necessary to leave a few at the tips of the branches, 

 and on no account to allow the roots to become 

 dry. 



Indeed, if this precaution is taken, one can 

 plant almost anything, at any season, except 

 during the period of rapid and succulent growth, 

 though deciduous trees are in best condition for 

 planting when the leaves are matured and are 

 falling naturally — in this latitude in latter Octo- 

 ber or November. 



No hard and fast rule can be followed since 

 what is good for one species will kill another out- 

 right. If the leaves are stripped from a silver 

 maple or plane tree in September and the tree 

 then transplanted, it will either die or will grow 

 only from the trunk near the ground. Indeed, 

 these trees need not be transplanted at all to be 

 seriously injured; stripping them of foUage will 

 give disastrous results. 



Unquestionably these and many other trees 

 can be safely transplanted in spring only, or in 

 very late autumn. Peach trees, too, can be moved 

 only with safety at such seasons; never in Septem- 

 ber. On the other hand cherry trees are much 

 better planted in autumn, as soon as possible after 

 the foliage is matured, or in very early spring. 

 No rule can be proclaimed as final and conclusive, 

 but taken all in all spring is undoubtedly safest 

 and best, and notwithstanding the declarations of 

 your correspondents in favor of autumn, it is a 

 safe guess that they themselves do nine-tenths 

 of their planting in spring. 



SUMMER PLANTING 



There may be much planting done in the summer 

 and autumn, if you choose proper subjects and 

 do the work in a proper manner. The best season 

 of the year in my opinion for planting all spruces 

 is July, after the season's growth has suflBciently 

 matured. The trees will root immediately and 

 will make a much stronger growth next year than if 

 transplanted at any other season. It would be 

 almost fatal to practice the same advice with 

 junipers and retinisporas. 



The past summer and autumn have been, in 

 this locality, the dryest ever known, so I post- 

 poned planting spruces. But about the middle 

 of August there was quite a shower one night and 

 an overcast sky the next morning, with more prom- 

 ise of rain, and I immediately began work. By 

 noon I had transplanted more than 2,000 trees. 

 By that time it was clear and a stiff wind blowing. 

 All promise of rain had vanished. Everyone of 

 those trees is alive to-day and rooted. Another 

 shower two weeks later tempted me to continue
