This takes from four to six months. We advise fall feedng because of instant results in spring when the tree awakens to new life.

It is not so much how hard a plant is frozen, but how quickly it is thawed, that the damage is done. In order to protect from frequent thaws any kind of a mulch to protect the ground from sun and wind, is a desirable ma- terial to use. Where the ground or roots of plants are all. that need protection, German peat makes a wonderful mulch, as it is fine, easily handled, and may be allowed to act as a mulch tn retain moisture during the follow- ing season. A light straw moisture covering ~or prairie hay that has no weed seeds, come next best in line. All plants are benefited with a mulch during the winter months. This does not necessarily mean that the life of a plant is the only thing in question, where a mulch is to be used, but it is how much good the plant: actually gain by having been pro- tected from frequent freezing and theWing is what really counts. There- fore the entire perennial border should he mulched every year, re- gardless of how hardy the plants may be. _ by J. R.
