THE GARDENING WORLD. 
June 10, 1905. 
means of a pair of scissors so as not to injure the 
leaf buds at their base. If any pruning is neces¬ 
sary to improve the shape of the plants it should 
be done at this stage. The plants should then be 
put into a warm house or stove and thoroughly 
syringed to encourage them to make fresh growth. 
They should indeed be subjected to warm stove 
treatment until growth has well advanced and the 
shoots have reached their full growth. The 
plants should then be subjected to a lower tem¬ 
perature in order to gradually harden them off. 
After being about a week in your coolest green¬ 
house they may be stood in the open air on a 
bed of ashes in a. shady place. They should not 
be subjected to full sunshine when first taken out 
of the houses, or the leaves may get scorched and 
browned. This is most likely what would happen 
if the sun was very bright at the time and if the 
•plants were stood in a sunny place. After the 
foliage has been well hardened by exposure to the 
air, the plants may then be placed in a fully- 
exposed position so that sun may ripen up the 
wood and foliage and cause the flower buds to 
plump up. You can tell what number of shoots 
are likely to bloom next year by the firmness of 
the centre of the leaf buds which enclose a truss 
of flowers. 
Elm Tree Blown Down. 
Some months ago during a gale we had a fine 
Elm blown down, leaving a large gap in our 
grounds. As we wish to preserve it, or rather 
30ft. of the trunk, we have cut. off the top and 
intend raising the trunk so that we may cover it 
with Ivy and Clematis. Can it be held up or 
made secure without wire stays, as we wish it to 
look natural? (Ulmtjs.) 
If the trunk has some stout roots projecting any 
distance from the base there should be no difficulty 
in holding up the trunk without the use of wires. 
The longer the roots the more easy it will be to 
do this. Before attempting to raise the trunk, 
prepare the ground around the roots so as to 
receive them when again restored to their natural 
position. The trunk could then be raised by 
means of ropes worked on the block and pulley 
system. When in position it should be made 
secure by means of ropes for the time being ; 
then procure some stout Larch or Oak posts, and 
drive these into the ground alongside of the main 
roots. One or more of these posts to each large 
root should be sufficient, and in proportion to the 
size of the root the posts may be either nailed 
or bolted to them. These posts thus secured will 
serve to hold the trunk in position until the roots 
decay at least; and it may occur to you the posts 
and roots should be sufficiently low to be entirely 
covered by a layer of soil and turf. The trunk 
will then appear as natural as it is possible to 
make it.
