Planting Trcet In the Fall. The question es to whether Spring fc Fall is the better season for plant ig lias been much discti-sod, and the occlusion reached baa generally been hat in Western New York and Bimi ar climates one is about as good aa ho other. My experience with hardy ruit and deciduous ornamental trees in favor of Fall. It is true that we .ave an occasional severe winter, when fall planted trees Buffer, but these are if rare occurrence. . i Last Fall, quite lato, after the hurry if the season was all over, I planted Several hundred dwarf pear trees. Af ter planting the earth was drawn up about the base, say six or more inches above the level of the ground, to give protection to tho roots and stiffen the tree again. . Ihe force of the wind. May 22d, I had the earth around , the trees removed to the ground level, and find vigorous new roots, three to five inches in length, spreading in all di rections from the quince stalk. The ttops are also pushing rapidly, and in ithe whole planting of three hundred trees there is not a failure, i It is easy to see what an advantage i these trees have over thoso plauted this i Spring, even under the most favorable i circumstances for the latter. In spring planting it often happens that a . long period of cold weather and dry ,'ing winds follows the planting, and : the trees get eeriously dried before the i growing season opens, or . a dry and I .warm period comes before the roots I liave acquired vigor enough to bus l tain tho tree;, under such adverse 'influence they cither die or linger Along feebly all summer. We must take some risk in planting - at any season, but, on the whole, I think the chances are in favor of the "Fall for hardy deciduous trees. Two young women met. . They liad not seen each other for two months. The following conversation ensued : "Been to Long Branch. Where were you?" . . j "To Saratoga. Any offers?" - "Yes, nine; two of them countsl You 4tave any ?" . v 'Thirteen.. One was an earl.M-r '" - And that girl who had been to Long Branch went, home and shed , titter tears of vexation, though the fact of the matter was they had neith er of them had any offers at all, and both knew it She has decided that another time she will let the other girl speak first, and , tell her story .' afterward.';- ; '; v '-'-: : ' ' 'A scientist affiims that eventually, -as our globe contracts, there will be only thirteen days in tho year.
