But Tiros For Planting Trees.
Very small trees or shrubs ol small
site, nnlessol vary hardy nature, should,
II practicable, be planted In the spring.
Trues sod shrubs ol lair six from the
nursery can be planted in the tall with
good success. The present month of
October Is one of tbe beat times to get
such stock in the ground. If planting
be deferred until later there ia not so
much chance ol their making new root
fibers before the winter Sets in. Ever
greens will generall do better planted
in the spring tbsn in the fall, unless it
be some ol tbe hardiest sorts, such aa
the Norway spruce. Trees bsvlng fleshy
roots, such as the magnolias, cbestnus
and the like, also generally do better If
set out In the snring; but If carefully
planted In the fall, not later than this
month, they should do well If in a fairly
protected place and not allowed to dry
out too much before winter.
Old Papers 10 cents per bundle at
this office.
ROYAL Baking
l'owder improves
the llavor and
adds to the healthful
ncss of all risen flour
foods. It renders the
biscuit, bread and cake
more digestible and
nutritious.
Royal Baking Pow
der makes hot breads
wholesome. Food
raised with Royal will
not distress persons of
delicate or enfeebled
digestion, though eaten
warm and fresh.
Imitation UiUiiiK xmilcrs almost invariably con
tain ilium. Alum make the food unwholesome.
