SCHOOL’ COMMITTEE, 
TREE PLANTING 
Continued from page } 
roots that had been mutilated by the 
spade in taking up, suggesting that the 
roots should be cut upward with a very 
sharp knife. In digging holes for the 
trees, he said, make them only a little 
larger than the actual requirement of the 
root at the time of planting; avoid too 
many unnatural conditions. Over-loos- 
ening and mellowing of the soil tended 
to disintegrate it by making evaporation 
easy and the humus would be soon gone. 
Of course this did not apply to plants 
under glass. Plants feed as much from 
the clouds and atmosphere through the 
leaves as from the soil through the roots. 
With the average gardener he would not 
differ much in the matter of fertilization 
only that he was an ardent advocate of 
mulching. Mulch the roots and retain 
the moisture in the ground by preventing 
evaporation rather than watering the 
plant. 
In pruning, he said, only do soto keep 
the tree symmetrical; do not throw away 
the growth of years for some old whim; 
keep the tree shapely but don’t waste 
time in pruning. Evergreens should not 
be pruned at all. Nipping of the buds 
is the most successful method. Great 
care should be exercised with evergreens 
to keep them from drying up, when once . 
taken out of the ground for trans- 
plantation. When once they become 
dry they will never thrive again. 
Evergreens like other trees are too often 
killed by the kindness of over fertiliza- 
tion. When the hole is prepared and 
the tree placed in position the greatest 
care should be given in packing the 
earth securely around the roots so -as to 
exclude every particle of air. Air so left 
in a space around the roots is fatal to the 
plant. Do not water but mulch, he re- 
peated, and, in summing up his remarks 
- by a series of dont’s, he said, don’t dig 
to large holes, don’t over prune the tree, 
don’t water, but mulch and occasionally 
hoe and tickle the soil on top. In a few 
words on the treatment of lawns. he 
cautioned against the excessive use of the 
hose and advised the application of a 
lawn dressing that would retain the natu- 
ral moisture. For this dressing he gave 
a formula of two tons land plaster, one 
ton wood ashes and 500 pounds com- 
mercial fertilizer to the acre as the most 
successful treatment he could advise. 
At the close of his talk he answered : 
many questions and was extended a vote 
of thanks by the society. At the next 
meeting Peter Hylen will speak upon 
‘* Fruit culture, —grafting and budding.”’
