j DOGS AND EVERGREENS 
I 
Dogs continuously harm evergreens, 
. in fact many a fine evergreen has been 
destroyed by dogs. 
( Various protective means have been 
: employed, however most of them have 
; been of little or no avail. 
^ The United States Department of 
[ Agriculture has made some researches 
; along this line and suggest the use 
! of a Nicotene Sulphate spray to solve 
> this problem and reports that its use 
is very effective. Dogs and also cats 
will find the odor of Nicotene Sulphate 
1 very repulsive and will avoid the 
I neighborhood of the sprayed areas. 
Nicotene Sulphate for this purpose 
| comes in a 40 percent solution. A 
| few drops of this solution in a pint 
' of water will make a strong enough 
spray to keep dogs away from ever- 
| greens, shrubs or flowers. It will not 
hurt the plants, in fact it will be 
! beneficial as it kills many kinds of 
| insects and pests. 
We have prepared a special outfit 
| consisting of 2 ounces of 40 percent 
Nicotene Sulphate, a strong hand 
sprayer and a medicine dropper with 
1 all necessary instructions. The price 
{ is $1.00 per outfit. It cannot be 
shipped by mail, but will be sent by 
express, not prepaid.

PLANTING 
DIRECTIONS 
The chief care to be taken during 
planting operations is to prevent the 
drying out of the roots. The fine root¬ 
lets of the young trees are extremely 
delicate and may be seriously injured 
even by a few minutes exposure to 
the sun or drying winds. It is best 
to keep the trees in an ordinary pail 
with enoug'h muddy water to cover 
the roots. Trees should not be kept 
lying on the ground while a hole is 
being dug. 
The hole should be made large 
enough to receive the roots without 
cramping them. The roots are inserted 
in the hole, spread out and loose soil 
firmly tamped with the hands. The 
tree should be set upright and planted 
to the same depth at which it grew 
in the nursery. This depth is indicated 
by a ring of light bark around the 
tree at ground level. 
A test of proper planting is to give 
each tree a slight tug after setting. 
If the tree pulls up, it is not properly 
set. Failure to set the tree firmly 
and at the right depth usually results 
in death or stunting. After the tree 
is planted it should be watered and 
judicious watering should be done at 
least once each weak, especially during 
the first year. Keep the ground 
around the tree cultivated. le keeps 
the weeds down and preserves the 
moisture.
