Evergreen Tree Seed—The seed of the evergreen trees should be kept in a dry, cool place until time of sowing. As early in spring as the ground can be worked the seeds should be sown thmly in beds of fine sandy loam, raised about- four inches above the general sur- face. The seed can be raked in, or if very small it may lay upon the surface, and th m be rolled in or patted with the .back of the spade to firm the earth around the seed. Then water very sparingly and with a fine spray. The young plants are very apt to damp off, and need to be shaded from the hot sun and drying winds. A good shnde ran be made of laths nailed two inches apart to a light frame. This should be supported about eight inches above the seed bed in such a way as to be easily removed to allow cultivation and weeding. Do not allow the young plants to become choked with weeds. Let them remain one or two years before transplanting to permanent ground. American Arbor Vitae (Thuja Occi- dentalis).—Seldom over thirty feet high.
