TIM 13 TO PLANT TREKS.
Tho following Information given
by Prof. II. A. Surface, state zoolo
gist, Harrisburg, to a Supreme court
justice, will bo of Interest to all who
Intend to plant fruit trees.
"I can say that I am certain from
experience, observation and study,
that It is best to plant tho home
fruits or apple, pear and qulnco In
the fall of the year. This, of course,
should bo done lato In fall, and caro
should bo taken to use trees that
wero mntured In tho nursery rather
than those from which the leaves had
been stripped while yet green nnd
thrifty. I would prefer trees from
which tho 'leaves dropped naturally.
"The stone fruits are best planted
in the early spring, If the soil Is In
proper condition and the planting
well done. By this I mean, that
one should avoid planting when the
soli Is wet that It will cake or pack
around the roots of tho trees, which
is liable to be the result of very
early spring planting.
"If trees be kept dormant when
In storage, they can be planted very
late In the spring, but the chief ob
jection to this Is, their lack of
growth during their shortened sum
mer. In tho fall one hns more time,
tho soil Is In better condition, and
the planting can generally be done
with more care than in the spring
time. The date of spring planting
does not depend so much upon the
condition of other trees In tho vi
cinity or plants of the spring as up
on the condition of the trees plant
ed as to dormancy. It should be a
truly dormant tree, or, in other
words, one in which growth has not
started."
