Dogwood Planting
Hints Are Given
By Mrs. G. E. BRIDGES
Publicity Chairman
House and Garden Club
ThE flowering dogwood Is pro
bably one of the most popular
trees In North Carolina.
Its beautiful blossoms in
spring and the lovely bright ber
ries it displays in the fall make
it much In demand when planting
time comes around. BecausE of
its outstanding features, the Gene,
ral Assembly of 1S41 adopted it
as "the official flower of the
State of North Carolina."'
Dogwoods are not the easiest
trees to transplant, and the fol
lowing are a few tips on trans
planting, drawn up by the Divi
sion of Forestry, that may help
you to save your trees.
Select this site for each tree
before they are received to avoid
delay in planting. Avoid formal
planting. Uneven spacing singly
or in groups *will probably fit
best with the scenery, Especially
in the country. To show off your
trees to their best advantage,
place them in front of taller trees
for a woody background.
Do not be discouragted if the
trees are smaller than you expect
ed. Smaller trees are much more
likely to live than larger onEs
and they are fast growers where
conditions suit them.
On receipt of the trees, open
them up as soon as possiblE, but
do not let the root? remain ex
posed to the air for any length of
time. If trees cannot be planted
moist soil wEll compacted around
the roots.
Before planting, cut off, brok
en, skinned or otherwise injured
roots with a sharp knife. Trim
with sharp knife or pruning
shears Every branch half way or
all the way back to the main
stem, but do not cut back the
leader. Heavy pruning will help
balance the reduced root system
and also encouragE height
growth.
Planting should be done when
the soil is fairly dry and loose so
that it will sift down among the
network of roots. Dig the hole
large enough to receive thE roots,
spread out horizontally, and deep
6 to 8 inches may be refilled with
enough, 10 to 12 inches, so that
wEll packed top soil, perferably
taken from the woods. This leaves
Macedonia Baptist WMU
Held Regular Meeting
The Macedonia (Baptist church
Woman's (Missionary society met
last Tuesday night, January 9th,
at the church.
Mrs. M. B. Martin had the o
pening devotional and prayer,
and Mrs. T. A. Lineberger, Mrs.
O. T. Gunnells, and Miss Dutch
Cloninger gave the program, "We
Give Thee tout Thine Own."
Mrs. Lineberger, the president,
conducted the (business session.
Mrs. O. T. Gunnells invited the
group to meet at her home in
February.
a hole 4 to 6 inches deep in which
the roots can be well spread out.
This is as deep, as this shallow
rootted species should be planted.
Now take fairly dry top soil with
out trash, sift it down among the
roots. Fill the hole so that the
ground is level when packed
down by foot. Be sure your tree is
no deeper or no shallower In the
ground than it formerly grew.
This is quite important.
In order to give the tree con
dition natural to it, partly rotted
forest leaves should be placed
around it and if in thte open some
small brush might be used to
keep the leaves from blowing
away.
Do not water the tree until the
planting is finished. Half a buc
ket pfer tree should be enough
until the buds swell when, if the
weather is dry, each tree might
have water every wteek or two
until soaking rainfall. Water
might again be used during the
first summer if prolonged
drought occurs.
The mulch of the forest leavtes
might be well renewed each win
ter in order to retain desirablie
moisture conditions and a slight
acidity in the soil. A slightly acid
compost might also be appplied
sparingly each spring. Each win
ter the lowest branches should
ble pruned off close to the main
stem until in the course of a few
years there is developed a
straight tree trunk six to sevten
feet long, clear of branches,
which would eventually become
commercially valuable.
Dogwood Week is to toe cele
brated January 22 through 28.
Let’s each plant at least one
dogwood tree this year apd make
Kings Mountain a more beautiful
city in which to live.
