COLLECTION OF DWARFED TKEES. 



Treated as above this plant is very ornamental on balconies, terraces, etc. If this plant 

 is kept in-doors it should alzvays he placed out-of-doors at night and as often as it is not 

 wanted for decoration. In-doors it should nev^er be exposed to the dry heat from a stove 

 or open fire-place otherwise the leaves will drop off and the plant perish. 



Pinus pentaphylla and pine trees in general growing in jardiniers require the attention 

 in watering and general treatment as Thuja obtusa, but are not so much influenced by 

 atmospheric conditions, nevertheless sun and air are necessary to maintain health therefore 

 keep the plants out-of-doors as much as possible. 



Maples and other daciduous trees tak-e the same treatment as Thuja obtusa as regards 

 watering but are much more accommodating than evergreens ; in fairly mild climates, the 

 maples may remain out-of-doors all winter, but where the frost is very severe they should 

 be kept in a cellar after the leaves have fallen in autunm, the soil must always be kept 

 moist but not zvet ; early in spring put the plant out-of-doors and fully exposed to all 

 weathers and when in full leaf use for decoration in-doors as needed. 



Manuring: — When the trees commence growing in spring we give manure twice a 

 month say March, April, May and June, again September and October, in the hot days of 

 July and August we give no manure and the same in winter and early spring, the plants 

 then being at rest, the best manure is finely powdered oil cake or bone meal, to a jardinier 

 1 foot in diameter we give 3 or 4 large teasponfuls not heaped of this dry manure spread 

 evenly round the edge of the jardinier, a larger or smaller will require more or Itss, a small 

 jardinier say 3 inches by 6 inches, half a teaspoonful will be ample each time.
