It has a 10 to 12 week period in which you can safely plant, before winter sets i, The advantages are that the tree or evergreen will become well established before win- ter, and youa will gain a fuli season of growth, otherwise when planting in the spring it will be. mid summer before the new roots are established and the new groWth begins. Another good reason is the fact that alm-ost aIl the Garden Centres in the area are having some sort of a sale on plants and trees, which they like to seil before the winter sets in, and which will save them the extra work to brîng the plants inside Qr store them outside and pro- vide some protection. Planting evergreens in the faîl differs slightly from the spring, in that you should mrake sure that the soul is good where you plant themn, so that the roots can get started right away. In the case o47 planting in the new subdivision you will likely have to remove the sofl and bring in fresh black topsoil, or you car. dig the hole where the evergreen has to be planted, and place the soul at the side of the hold and mix pe,ýatmoss and manure thr- ough the soul. 1 would like to see about a third each of the soi] you dig out and a thîrd peatmnoss and a third manure mixed together to get that perfect planting mix. After you have mnixed this together take a shovel full of this mix and place at the bottomn of the hole, then place the plant on top of this mixture. If the evergreen has a burlap hag arounid the soil balI, just eut the top and tuck it around the roots at the bottom ýnd it wi rot in a years timre, or if the evergreen is planted in a fflastic or steel can, just tip the can and tap the bottomn and the evergreen will slide out, then fil1 in around the root baIl with the mix up to 3 or 4 inches from the top. Then tap this mix in tight 50 that there are no air holes left in the soil, then take the garden hose.and fMIl up the hole with water, and ]et this drain away. If it drains away very fast it should be repeated two more times, to thoroughly soak the root ball and the soil around the evergreen. Then fil in the rest of the hole \vith the mix and you could flot have a better planting job done by a professional. Ever- greens should be watered very heavily right up until frost, even as late as Christ- mas if the soul is not frozen, because the evergreen will depend on that water that you supplied throughout the win- ter. Even established ever- green plantings that are several years old will beniefit greatly from a good soaking in the fali. Trees and shrubs can bc planted in the same manner, trees should be staked for the winter, to proýteet them, from blowinýýg over. To tie the tree to the stake use a piece of wir-e iniserted through a piece of hose and twist this around, the stake and then around the tre, 50 that the tree -wiIl not rub against the stake with the wind. Pruning should neyer be done ini the faîl season on any evergreens or tree, with the exception of Just very lîght trimming, or to remove a broken branch. Damage could result if you prune in the fait, sînce when you make a cut, then you have an open wound which can cause damage with the frost freez- ing the sap coming from this w.ound. The best time to trim or prune trees is the early spring or late winter, just before the sap starts to run, which is usually at the end of March or the beginning of Rebekah Newsi The regular meeting of Heather Rebekah Lodge was held Tuesday, September 27th with Sister Betty Major, Noble Grand presiding being assisted by Sister Hazel Stapleton Past Noble Grand acting as Vice Grand in the absence of Sister Maude Cooper, Pàst Noble Grand.
