. The care of trees in lawn, street and park. With a list of trees and shrubs for decorative use. Trees; Trees. Repairing Damage 113 gins to the live cambium layer, treated antiseptically as directed above, and finally painted. At the same time the tree should be invigorated, as indi- cated before, by soil improvement and pruning. If a fresh wound, made by any accident, such as the gnawing of a horse, be at once completely co\-ered with melted tree wax ^ so as to keep the parts below soft and moist, and protected by cloth bandages against further disturbances, a new rind or bark will de\'elop directly from the living tissues, without the callus forma- tion of the marginal cambium. The application of an antiseptic, like Bor- deaux mixture, before the wax cover is put on. may also be useful to destroy fungus spores. Rapid growing deciduous species, if girdled or peeled in the earlier part of the season when the cambium is fully active, will respond with special readiness to such treatment, and will close a peel wound in the first year. If the tree has been completely girdled, or if it coul 1 not be protected at once as described above, it can still be saved by an expert or skilful grafter through the process of ''bridging," described as follows. The margin of the wound is trimmed smooth, and a number of scions, freshly cut }oung twigs from two or three. Fig. 44. — Method of bridging a wound with freshly cut young twigs. 'A serviceable tree wax is made by melting together by weight, one part tallow, two parts beeswax, four parts rosin, then pouring into cold water and working it with hands (which should be greased) until it becomes the color of taffy candy and develops a Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fernow, B.
