Correct Growth For Young Tree Like any other growing young- ster, the newly planted tree can stand some corrective measures at times. That's why it is important to check the tree, shrub or ever- green planted last Fall. It may need some straightening out, in several ways. Here is a quick check-list that will help the deli- cate greenery to a good start this growing season: Check roots for exposure. If freezing and thawing has heaved roots out of the ground, press them back into place and cover with topsoil. Re-mulch if this is in order. Check to see if plant looks like a leaning tower. The tree should stand upright, something that might be accomplished by ad- justing or tightening guy wires. Dependability, compactness, and economy are among the ad- vantages of gas-fired floor fur- naces. Depending on the size of the home and the climate, a single furnace may meet all heat- ing needs, or several may be em- ployed: TIME TO "STAKE-OUT" If your plants are now only seeds, bulbs or young sprouts, this is the time to stake them if they will eventually need support. Later on, staking may cause damage to roots. Make a hoe do the work of a rake by welding a steel blade to one end of the rake. Any flat piece of steel or iron, slightly narrower than the length of the hoe teeth, will do when sharpen- ed at one end.

Check for possible winter dam- age or breakage caused by snow and ice. Check for identifying labels that may have been left on twig or branch. As the tree grows, the wire may girdle the branch. At- tach long lasting zine, aluminum foil or plastic labels by long loops of wire that allow for growth without damage from the attach- ment. Tree lovers who wish to label larger hardwoods should attach tags directly to trunks. This is done by driving a small copper or aluminum brad into the tree, Nails long enough to permit years of growth should be used. Newer type plants provide conversation- al pieces for years to come and permanent tree labels are becom- ing more and more of a back THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, April 29, 1960 7 Mahe. Your Outdoor.
