T & C Garden Club Says To Plant
A Tree On Arbor Day, March 15
As the March winds begin,
thoughts turn to the out-of
doors and many have that
urge to get out and dig a bit.
Well, why not! With Arbor
Day, March 15, rapidly ap
proaching there could be no
* better way to celebrate this
day plus the coming of spring
than by adding a lovely tree
to your yard.
Trees can serve many pur
poses from giving privacy and
dispensing shade to simply
adding beauty and ornamen
tation to your property.
There are. however, some
points to consider before
planting a tree. You should
think, first of all, about how
you want your house and
grounds to appear in the fu>
ture and select a tree that will
attain a size suitable to the
spot you plan to place it.
Remember also that a tree
should not be planted too
close to your house, for it
may have to be moved in
^rears to come.
Trees may be transplanted
in the fall or spring, but it is
best to transplant when no
foliage is showing. If the tree
is in leaf, however, the foliage
should be sprayed with some
product such as Wilt-Pnif to
prevent the evaporation of
water. The roots of the tree
must be kept moist at all
times during the transplanting
process. Small trees (those
less than 12 feet tall) may be
transplanted with bare roots;
trees larger than this, how
ever. must have a ball of earth
about the roots.
In preparing the soil for
the tree, one should dig a
hole large endfagh for the
roots to spread out flat and
deep enough so that the tree
will sit no more than 'A inch
to 1 inch deeper than its
former ground level. After
the soil is removed from the
hole, humias and superphos
phate at the rate of '<4 pound
per foot of the tree's dia
meter should be worked well
into the undersoil. The top
soil should then be mixed
with more humus and ferti
lizer and be put back into the

hole to sit tor several days.
Before the tree is put in
place, broken or injured roots
should be pruned. Approx
imately 1/3 of the branches
should also be thinned. After
this is done the tree can be
placed in the hole and the
soil, free of lumps, Pilled in to
about '/4 the depth of the
hole. The tree should then be
shaken firmly up and down
for an inch or two so that the
soil will get between the roots
and fill up air pockets. More
soil may now be added and
tamped down firmly with the
heel. Next add enough water
to thoroughly soak the toil
and finish by placing re
maining soil in the hole, in
such a manner that a depres
sion is left around the tree to
catch and hold water until it
soaks in. A mulch of well
rotted manure, salt hay, peat
moss, or some similar ma
terial should now be placed
approximately 5 inches deep
around the tree. The mulch
should begin several inches
away from he trunk. Finally,
the trunk may be wrapped
with a burlap or paper cover
ing from 2 inches below the
ground up to the first limb to
prevert sunscald and damage
by borers If the tree is ten or
more feet high It should be
supported by guy wires to
keep it from blowing or sway
ing too much. The newly
planted tree should be water
ed at least once a week.
Although older established
trees do not need a great deal
of care, their beauty can be
enhanced in several way*.
First of all, broken branches
or those that rub against each
other should be removed.
Secondly, trees should be fed
periodically to maintain their
health. This may be done In
early spring or late fall. If
there is no grass around a
small tree,- the fertilizer may
be scattered around the base
of the tree, raked in, and
watered. This should, how
ever. not be applied within
one foot of the trunk. For
large trees twelve to eighteen
inches deep holes two to
three feet apart should be
made with a crowbar. Make
approximately ten holes for
each inch of trunks diameter.
These holes should begin
about 1/3 of the distance
from he trunk to the branch
ends - and continue to the
branch ends. To determine
the amount of fertilizer to
uk, measure the circum
ference of the trunk three
feet above the ground and use
one pound per Inch circum
ference. For tree* six Inches
or leas use 1M pounds per

A graceful walk and good
