DECIDUOUS TREES— THEIR CARE 
I he transplanting of a tree cannot be done without 
affecting the root-system. All broken and injured roots 
should be cut off with a sharp tool, from the underside 
upward. I o offset this, the top of the tree should be cut 
correspondingly, or even more severely. The amount of 
wood to cut out depends on the root-system and the 
variety of tree. The less fibrous roots, the more severe 
the pruning will have to be; hard-wooded trees require a 
closer pruning than soft-wooded trees. It is a good rule 
to remove about three-fourths of last year’s growth. 
With a little practice this can be done without altering 
the general shape of the tree. Every cut should be made 
clean and close to a strong bud. At the juncture of 
leading branches — especially in the case of fruit trees — 
the terminal bud should be one pointing toward the out- 
side, in order to get an open, spreading growth. 
Spread the roots carefully in every direction when 
planting, and pack the soil tightly about the roots, but 
keep the top layer loose and open. Soak thoroughly 
after planting, and repeat as often as necessary in dry 
weather. Mulch heavily with strawy manure or like 
material. Alphano Humus is splendid for mixing with 
the planting soil. See description and prices on back 
cover.

DECIDUOUS TREES 
Our list ot this very important class of ornamentals lias been carefully 
selected, and includes only such trees which are of real value and use- 
fulness for general use, such as street and avenue plantings, for specimens 
on the lawn, for shade, and for grouping and mass effects. They com- 
prise only the hardiest varieties and best growers. Owing to the peculiar 
nature of our soil a better and more fibrous root-system could not be 
produced anywhere.
