DECIDUOUS PLANTS Trees and Shrubbery CAR Should Not Be Disturbed While Showing Growth. Deciduous plants %re ordinarily moved when dormant or during the period from a little before the leaves drop in the autumn, until growth starts in the spring. With extra care they muy be moved at other times. The secret of successful transplanting is getting a good root growth started before top growth makes too heavy dnnands upon the roots. In cool moist cllmutes there Is not the eiune care demanded as tn warmer or drier ones. If possible, pluuts should be put In their |>ermunent places Immedi­ ately. Otherwise, they should be put In the ground temporarily to prevent their drying out, states the United Th« Successful Gardener Plante the Seeds in a Flat Tray, to Be Set .n a Window on the Living Room Floor or In the Basement Where It le Warm and Sunny. Stable Manure, Soil Crops, or Commercial Fer­ Bright Sunshine. tilizer Necessary. A window box for starting early vegetable plants will give the home gardener from ten days to three weeks advantage In earliness over his neigh­ bor who does not have acme means of starting early plants. Tomatoes, pep­ pers, eggplants, cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce are the crops that lend themselves beet to starting early in the house. It does uot matter what kind of a box la used, but for convenience 16 should be about 3 or 4 Inches The Home-Made Flat. deep and of a size that will readily fit into the window space. The box can be set on a small table or on special legs or supports. One method of providing a window box 1s described by the United States Department of Agriculture. Take a soap box or some similar packing box and saw it horizontally lengthwise Into two sections. If the box Is too deep for sawing through the center, two cuts can be made, using the top of the box with cover nailed on to form the bottom tray and the bottom part of the box for a second tray. The middle section which is cut out may have a bottom nailed onto It, form­ ing still another tray. Only one tray will be needed 1 n the window at first for the sowing of the seeds. Later additional trays or flats, as they are called, are required for transplanting. One point of great importance in starting early plants In the window Is to see that they are not over wa­ tered. Another point is to turn the box from time to time so that the plants wiU not grow crooked and drawn toward the window. A supply of good soil should be stored In the cellar or in some dry place in the au­ tumn in order to have It available along in February or March when it is wanted for filling the window boxes. This soil should J>e of a light loam or sandy nature and the part used in the transplanting trays should contain a very little finely sifted manure well mixed with the soil. The plants should be shaded for a day or so and kept well watered after transplanting, but as the season advances the trays should be carried into the open air whenever it Is warm enough aad the plants exposed to outdoor conditions so that they will be sturdy and accus­ tomed to the open air by the time it Is safe to set them In the garden. Tn removing the plants from the trays for setting In the ground a knife or trowel should be run between them so that they may be lifted with a nice block of earth adhering to their roots. BEET CONTAINS IRON The beet is said to be especially valuable as an article of diet because it contains a larger portion of lroa jhan other vegetables. Most farmers can spare enough manure from their other crops to fer­ tilize properly a one-fourth acre gar­ den plot, but in some sections, espe­ cially neur towns, manure is no longer to be had in quantity and other means must be found for fertilizing garden soils. In brief, states the United States Department of Agriculture, at least three methods of adding fertility to the soil. First, by the application of manure; second, by the use of soil building crops, and, third, by commer­ cial fertilizers. No one method is as , good as any two or the three cone blned, and if we are to get the best results from the use of commercial fertiliser a reasonable amount of ma­ nure or organic matter must be in the j soil. The amount of manure required will depend entirely upon the soil Itself, but very’ few cases are found where the use of manure on gardens is being overdone. The same might be said about the turning under of manure crops or soil building crops. Even the weeds that grow upon the surface dur­ ing the late summer, aside from their seeds, are often valuable for working into the soil. The method of applying the manure will also depend upon lo­ cal conditions, but as a rule manure that has been piled and thoroughly composted will give better results than that which is in the raw state. Too much cannot be said in favor of the compost pile by means of which equal parts of manure and soil or sods, which are even better are piled to rot. Tills compost heap should be turned once or twice during the win­ ter months and the material applied to the garden as a top dressing dur­ ing the spring. Ten tons of this kind of material will not be too much for Intensive Fertilization. the ordinary one-fourth acre garden. Commercial fertilizers are used for adding plant food to the garden and give best results when used in con junction with stable manure or com post. Commercial gardeners often w as much as 4,000 [aiunds to the acre for special crops like celery, but gen­ erally speaking 400 or 500 pounds of a fertilizer containing 3 or 4 per cent Ditïogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 2 to 4 per cent potash, will be all that Is needed on a one-fourth-acre garden. Fertilizers should be nsen Carburetor. 21 Warner Steering Gear, worm aiai gear type ndju.- ted f«>r wear. 22 Gil Geur Pump assuring constant efficient circulation.

Dae no danger of its packing hurd enough about the roots to bake or become brickllke on drying, and will spring upart again after being squeezed tightly in the hand. The holes should be dug sufficiently wide to take all • the roots without doubling them back, and deep enough to set the plaDt a little deeper than It grew before and still have 2 or 3 inches of gixid new soli under it. The good top soil should be saved for put­ ting back In the hole about the roots of the plant, the sub-soil should be taken away and be replaced by good soil. Well rotted manure and ground bene or cotton-seed meal may be lib­ erally mixed with the earth about the roots of the newly set tree. These should be well mixed with the soil but should not come In direct contact with the roots. The roots should be placed as near­ ly In the position they grew as Is pos­ I sible, care being taken not to leave them In layers without fine soli be­ tween. "Hie plant should be gently worked up and down to be sure there Is no opening left under the place from which the roots branch. After I the hole is partially filled, the soil must be well tamped to bring the I roots and soil into close contact with one another. If the earth Is very dry i water should be applied before the hole Is finally filled. After It has soaked away the balance of the soil should be replaced but without any I tamp.ng or firming of any kind When the work is done in the fall it is well to make a mound about the plant to prevent wind from swavlng It and loosening it in the soli. This mound about the tree should be used only in fall transplanting and should be leveled down as early as possible In the spring. If the plnnt Is large It should be securely staked to serve the same purpose. Mulching with coarse manure or straw will aid In cold countries by preventing frost from penetrating the ground so deeply and In dry countries by holding moist­ ure. The top of the plant must be pruned somewhat In proportion to the amount of roots that were destroyed In dig­ ging. This usually means that one- half of the top should be cut away when the plant has been well dug nnd handled and three-fourths or more If it has been poorly handled. As far as possible this should be done by re­ moving whole limbs or branches rather tlinn by cutting back the end*, in order that the general shape or character of the plant may be kept.
