Foresters Provide
Tips On Planting
As the snow. vanishes and tree,
meting- season ,approaches, the
resters of the Department of
Lands and Forests offer a few
suggestions to prospective tree
planters.
Trees supplied from the govern-
ment nurseries may be shipped to
the nearest express station or they
may :be picked up at the nursery,
according to the preference of the
'
planter. As it is important to
plant the trees as soon as; possible
after they have been lilted, express
shipments should be accepted at
once and taken to 'a cool place.
If it is not possible to plant ,them
immediately, the trees should be
kept in a cool moist spot or "heel-
ed in" --a booklet inside the ship-
ping box will describe how to do
this, and it will also describe in
detail how to plant the tree.
Trees will die if the roots are
allowed to dry. This may happen
in the package, although all pos-
sible care is taken to avoid it—
hence the need for opening Peek -
ages or crates at once. It may
happen by a careless planter carry-
ing the trees without the protec-
tion of water in: a pail or moss in
a basket; and it may happen after
the tree is planted if the planter
does not ensure that the roots are
properly placed in a wedge-shaped'
hole into which the earth is stamp-
ed firmly after the tree is planted.
A little care and energy frequently
makes the difference between sue-

this to say: "In. the assessment re-,

exists, or the burthen presses

settler,' who, trapped by the allur-
ing advertisements of the Company
stating, `no money to be paid

of a lot five or six cdncessions
back from the road, for which in
the end he will pay up over forty

who has a right to complain, but
who has nevertheless paid his

Here in regular rows, we grow
those flowers which 'are especially

Commonest Mistakes
Two of the commonest mistakes
in gardening are plotting too deep
and too close together. 'The size
of the actual seed has, little to do
with either. Some tiny seeds pro- ;
duce mighty big plants that will.
require plenty of room. Some big
seeds, like that of beans, produce
only moderately sized plants.
The general rule for depth' -ie
three times the diameter of the
seed. For tinyseed like that of
portulaca or alyssum or lettuce,
[this simply means sowing on top of
the soil and pressing in lightly.
To spread more evenly, we may
mix seed with sand before we sow.
For bigger seed say the "'size of
peas, or corn, half to an inch deep
will be about night. Potatoes,
gladiolus and dahlias go down from I
six to twelve inches.
As for spacing, it is well to re-
member that even tiny things like
alyssum or portulaca, or green
onions, require some space to de-
velop properly. The safe rule is
at least half as much space be-
tween sprouted plants as they will
be high when full grown. With
small dowers and vegetables this
means at least ..a couple of inches
between and with say zinnias, peas,
beans, etc., four to six inches. With
dahlias, corn, tomatoes, this should
be at least 12 to 18 inches.
Why the straight rows and even
spae p r' a1. the
vegetable garden? Part of t1 a rea,
oval of course is neatness, 'but ou y
part. Mostar we plant [hiss way
because it makes the. job of looking
atter -the garden veryinu�ch easier. •
If the rows .are straight, we can
cultivate in half the time as we
do .Aot have to wiggle careful y•
around. each'plant. AniCif f the
plants are uniformly spaced in the
rows then we can weed far more
quickly too. Instead of feeling
around with. our fingers for the
net oo;on or carrot or pea vine,
We, know it is approximately two,four "or six inches' from the prev-
ious one, and at tine' swoop we
remove 90% - of the interveping
weeds. If. the vegetable garden
-were planted any- • old way, weed-
ing, thinning,. cultivating and
spraying would be an unnecessarily
backbreaking chore and we
couldn't think 'of using a garden
tractor or even a- hand drawn
cultivator.
Even in the formal clumplaiit-
ing in the flower garden, we should.
try to be uniform in the spacing ,
so that cultivation is 'made easier.
