RURALISMS 
Fungus on Oak Tree. 
How can I treat a large White oak 
tree? I have discovered a hard cork-like 
fungus over a foot across, and growing in 
the form of a shelf a little above the roots 
on the north side of the trunk. Is this 
evidence that the trunk is decayed? If 
so. what shall I do to preserve the tree? 
Albany, N. Y. t. m. ,t. 
The “hard cork-like fungus” which you 
describe as growing at the base of your 
oak tree is the fruiting part of a fungus. 
This fungus has been developing several 
years in the tree, and owes its origin to 
an infection through some exposed por¬ 
tion of the wood. The cork-like fungus 
means that there is decayed wood be¬ 
neath. The remedy is tree surgery. By 
use of chisel and mallet remove all the de¬ 
cayed wood and even some of the appar¬ 
ently healthy wood around the inside of 
the cavity. Paint the entire surface of 
the cavity with coal tar. This may be ob¬ 
tained from almost any artificial gas-pro¬ 
ducing plant. Be sure that all decayed 
wood is removed. After the cavity has 
been treated as indicated, it may, if you 
desire, be filled with common cement. 
Rhododendrons from Seed. 
Will you inform me how to plant seeds, 
and the care of same, of the Rhododendron 
maximum, or great laurel? I wish to 
plant them now. M. R. s. 
Schuylerville, N. Y. 
Considerable care must be exercised in 
the handling of Rhododendron seeds, as 
they are small and light, and if not prop¬ 
erly planted and looked after, failure is 
almost sure to result. The seeds are usu¬ 
ally sown in early Spring, in shallow 
boxes in sandy peat soil. The seed may 
be sown broadcast in the boxes or scat¬ 
tered thinly in rows about three inches 
apart. In either case care must be taken 
to cover them very lightly, not deeper 
than two or three times the diameter of 
the seed. A splendid material for cover¬ 
ing the seed is made of half peat soil and 
half finely sifted sphagum moss mixed. 
This makes a very light covering and is 
quite retentive of moisture. The seed 
must not at any time be allowed to be¬ 
come dry, neither should they be kept 
soaking wet, but in a moderately moist 
condition. When watering use a very 
fine rose, as the seed is very easily 
washed out. The seed boxes should be 
kept in a cool greenhouse or cold frame, 
and the young plants be shaded at all 
times. The young plants should remain 
in the box until the second year when 
they may be planted in rows in the open 
ground preferably in a partially shaded 
situation. k. 
Moving Large Maples. 
The Augusta Military Academy is grad¬ 
ing an athletic field under our supervision 
in Augusta County, Va., and in this 
course of grading we find it necessary 
either to move or destroy 12 or 14 Nor¬ 
way maple trees with trunks from six to 
eight inches in diameter. The owners are 
very anxious to save these trees by mov¬ 
ing them if it is at all possible. Can we 
successfully remove these trees in the 
next two or three weeks? We are already 
advised that it is best to remove them 
when the ground is frozen hard, but we 
cannot consider the proposition under 
these conditions, for we must finish the 
work this Spring, and we can hardly ex¬ 
pect another hard freeze until next Win¬ 
ter. 
Staunton, Va. t. j. c. 
These maple trees can be safely moved 
if sufficient care is used in doing the 
work. A trench should be dug around 
each tree leaving a ball of earth not less 
than six or eight feet in diameter, and 
beyond this the roots should be laid bare 
for a few feet and injured as little as pos¬ 
sible. The rest of earth should he un¬ 
dermined and the deep roots cut off two 
or three feet below the surface. The 
branches of the top should be severely cut 
back. A low wagon or sled should be 
backed close to the tree and a resting 
place for the trunk well padded with 
something to prevent injuring the bark. 
By having ample force to handle the tree 
it can be pried, lifted and tied in a posi¬ 
tion to be hauled to where it is to be 
planted. The hole to receive it should 
have been got ready in advance. The soil 
should be tramped and rammed as hard as 
possible between and over the roots and 
then a heavy mulch over all. Then a barrel 
or more of water should be poured over 
the mulch.
