CARE OF EVERGREENS 
There is nothing that adds so much to 
the beauty of the city home or the farm as 
a planting of evergreens, but you cannot 
just plant them and then let them shift for 
themselves. You don't drive your new car 
for a year without giving it some oil, or use 
a new rug all winter without sweeping it, 
so why not give those evergreens some 
chance to beautify your grounds as they 
are capable of doing? 
It is surprising how few people are willing 
to take a few minutes once a week to give 
their evergreens a good soaking. Oh, yes, 
they will begin to soak them thoroughly as 
soon as they begin to show signs of dying! 
But when an evergreen begins to look sick, 
it is already dead. 
Have a depression around each tree so 
that when you water it the water will not all 
run away but will soak down to where the 
roots are. 
And dogs! They are Enemy No. 2. The 
most effective preventative for this enemy 
is to put some 16 inch garden fencing in 
front of the evergreens. 
And there is the Red Spider which begins 
to work when it gets hot and dry. When 
they begin to suck the juice, the evergreens 
will have a grayish cast, or you can easily 
tell if they are present by holding a sheet 
of white paper under a twig and tapping 
the twig. The Red Spiders are almost in- 
visible and look like specks of dust but are 
always moving. A dose of cold water will 
check them and some Dusting Sulphur will 
kill them.

WATERING EVERGREENS 
Nearly all the loss in newly planted ever- 
greens is caused by lack of sufficient water. 
A thorough soaking with water once a week 
during the first year is usually all that is 
required. There must be a depression 
around each tree so the water will not run 
off, and it should be a definite job of some 
member of the family to do the watering on 
a certain day of each week.
