CARE OF TREES The coming Of spring is the begin- ning of .a, new year for ail of 'Our trees, shrubs, lawns, and perennial flowering plants. During the past fewmonths these:.p lants .have: been sleeping soundly but with the warin weather, they will begin again the life processes stopped by the cold weather ýof last fa!!. These plants have no, choice as to the location, in which they are grow- ing and. they need extra, care and attention. The beautiful trees in Our yards and along our streets need at- tention badly and this is'exactly the time that the most cati lie done for themi. Get After the Scale There is a certain type oi insects prevàlent on niost of thie trees of the north shore wvhich live under littie tents of scales the year around and suck the food juices f rom the bark of the trees. The most serious of these scale insects are San Jose' Scale, Qyster $heli Scale, and lim Tree Scale. Trees infested with these1 1Now is the time to free your trees of these scale insects. Have your trees sprayed thoroughly with a dor- mant oul spray before the buds open this spring. Itbas been determined that the.cold, wea*ther kilied about 75 per, cent. of the 'Sani Jose' Scales on each infested tree but this should not be interpreted as indication that sprayinig i§ not necessary. The 25 a number of trees. Therefore, it may be -mQst practikal for several home owners on adjoining properties and each having but a few trees to pool their requirements.%. Almost any tree expert equipped to spray large, trees would be willing to cooperate .in such cases. Community effot should also be brought into action to encourage Parke officiais to give the necessary attentionto the trees under public jurisdiction. Proper Time for F.ediau This is the, proper. time aiso for the feeding of undernourished trees. Any trees growing adjacent to side walks or pavements, so that a portion of the. surface above their roots is covered, and those 'situated in lawn areas, are especially in need - of. nour-- ishment. in addition to that which they can secure-from the natural soi! supply. Providing such additional food to the trees wili accomplish two important results-it wiII inake the trees more beautiful and it will pro- long their lives by many years. Some of the finest, and oldest trees on the North Shore now undernourished and constantly preyed upon by scale and other insects can be revived and pre- served for future generations. A tree fed with a correct.tree food will produce more new twig growth and more and larger leaves. The leaves wîll be greener also, as con- trasted with the yellowish and chioro- tic leaves of weak and unthrifty trees. Proper feeding will cause trées to put forth their leaves several days -arlier thaiý'Žwill trees flot fe.d, and will also drop~ their leaves later in the fa!!. Thus this, littie trouble of feeding and spraying will be wvell rewarded by greater beauty over a long period of each year and for many years to corne.
