BY Dr) JOHN A.KONICOTIY -! !-
'"'in the mode of planting there are bad
mistakes. Few, prepare their, ground
properly, and most of you; hurry -the
- . c r f l-.:
opcruuuii, nu iciii ui iuaui jr uui nccs.
All wroDg. The first thingyou shduld
do on receiving trees either spring
or fall-ris to.beel thern dn; nicely, ia
moist mellow soil unless frozen rand
even then you' must heel in suddenly
rind, in buU, if nqt; well'packed.f
You are mistaken in believing that
freezing the roots wilL kill i a tree if
thawed properly and you areottener
mistaken in supposing trees dried in
the package must oe aeaa. ,vve occa
sionally have tree3 months on the way,
and quite dry when.r received. But
they are not alwayVdeadi -Burv them,
root ' and - branch; for a week" or twb;
where air; heat and moisture can' act
upon them gradually,, and then 'cut
back severely, , plant and shade them,
and they -may do pretty well,'! for all
the drying. ' It is a very bad practice,
for, all that, to; let the roots of trees
get dry ; and a worse one1 to let .'them
freeze, while naked, as some of -you
do, iu moving them -without packing:
JBut'to the operation of planting.
Some of yoVd? prejpare your soil, , by
deep plowing; butl fear most of. you
do not plow deep enough.; , Ail of you
djg. :ioleVl some x. them .- deep
enough for fence posts, and not iriaoh
larger than old fashioned Vpost-holes."
Part of you putinanuro in tho bottom
an abominable practice others dont
and are jright: there. 1 Most of J you
crowd the roots : into these "holes,"
hap-hazard, and sink them deep enough"
not to need "staking,' and then shovel
in the earth with or without water,
and "tread down" firmly, and the work
i3 done and ' the : treo often (idone
for" I have just heard of a thousand
or so, planted m this manner, Dy a man
who pretended to know how?'and trod
den down4 so as to turn the ends of the
roots upwards ! and leave auice' dish
about the stemoi every tree 71a caica
tbe rain V , I am told that some of
them are alive, but they ought not to
ive. -.. ... .- 4
1 . Never dig.holes', never dig deep
er ;ia Tone place than another and
never deeper where the tree, stands
than twenty feet from it. I would have
every root I should get, and have them
all fresh and good pare their bruises,
and then carefully imbed then in, fine
earth," spreading and separating them,;
and' planting Just enough deeper than
the tree grew in the nursery,",to allow
for the' settling of the soil.. . I. would
dip the roots in a rich puddle,: before
planting and before "heeling in," too
and take my timVfdr the work: ;5 In
very loose soil I would press!, down,
gently over. the QiU& eiids of the yoot3
not next the stem and if necessary
stake' them ia the spring,7 and certain
ly mound up ia autumn. It is a great
mistake to suppose, that, ia . planting
them,!" the; root3 of.. tree3.-must!.b8
drenched with cold water ; and 1 after
watering' are wprs9. yet." v Mor? (are
killed by too liberal fioodings, than the
want of water., ' Abundant . poisture,
bo. essential ;to. abundant, vegetation, is
the greatest enrse cf . the tree-planter,
and fruit-grower ; where ncperaluri
darJ, &n& long retained about the roots
of trees and plants." 1 And underdrain
agei or surface 'outlets, his only safety;
and the latter is but a'temporary palli
ation,vand one of untold wastefulness.
Nearly :our whole sy stem of pruning
is a .mistake a barbarism. .. Cutting
back, or shortening .jn-'r is often ne
cessary, in shaping a tree, and keeping
it ia good shape, and in restoring some
thing: like - a reasonable balance be
tween tops and roots, iarca3es of great
destructioa of the latter,' in digging
them upln ' Th'9 iremdval 6f interfering
branches may be called for, whea they
cahnot'.bo' draWn apart and preserved
-f-'and dead wood; and sometimes thick
unfruitfuV spray, riiay, ; well . enough,
fall under the saw or the kmfe.: , ;liat
as -usually .practiced,.; better.; never
prune at all. ..-m..! ,m j - n
Mulching is almost always a good
thing, if. not' carried to excess pand it
is indispensable in connection with late
spring planing. .Cut some of us over
do the. thing, Just mulch enough, affcr
planting, to prevent rapid evapqratioa
from the son, and sudden changes 0
temperature, and it is of great ser
vice; while too much of it is danger
003,' excluding1 san; and air and, per
haps,1 bther good influences,1 prevent
ing early maturity, by encouraging
lato growth, harboring vermin, and al
that. Pall mulching is another thing.
especially where-.your object is. to re
tain" the heat of .the.- earth, as long hs
practicable. , v "- :.-,.- - ,
Many planters expect a crop . .of
fruit, without any particular cultiva
tion; and yet they would laugh at the
idea of a co'rri'or potato' crop, under
iiKe circumstances, ne assurea 01 one
fact,' I pray rrAll'ourr best fruits" need
more liberal culture thati corn:' especijt
ally while young. Better not plant at
an, .unless determined to cultivat
And just about as . well cut down your
trees, as "seed down .the .orchard, as
some of you do, and better cut it down
man sow ine email grains oucKwneat,
possiDiy, excepted among y our trees,

tnac "two crops ot rye would rum
any orchard.'-'! think" threef crops of
any other small unhoed cereal about
as iaiai. it is a great mistake 10 put
ahy but hoed crops in an' orchard ; aadt
of those, corn,' sorghum: and other tall
f . J ' i Hi ' ' ' .
piants, are oojectionaoie, oa account
of, shado. ,'lato in .summer, ! until the
tree's get high enough to overtop 'it.
Where tho soil is very deep and; rich
and the trees large, perhaps red clover
may - bo .sown. as - a; check to weed
growth, i-; v :-. ill ' i-,r;
Manyof - 'you plant' too 'deep,
