Nurseries (Horticulture) Massachusetts Boston Catalogs; American ginseng Catalogs. 6 Harlan P. Kelsey, Tremont Building, Boston, and Kawana, N. C. prevent warping, and notches 5 inches apart are cut on the edges. A trench is then opened, by using a light spade and lifting the dirt away from the board, the back of the spade being flat against the edge of the board, on which the planter is standing. The plants are set at the 5-inch inter- vals, care being taken to see that the roots are in straight, and the crown at least an inch below the surface. Dirt is pulled in with the hand as each plant is set, and after firm- ing the row with the foot, the bed is smoothed off with a fine-toothed rake. The middle of the board is then placed directly over the row, and the plant- ing of the next row is proceeded with. This leaves the plants 5 by 6 inches apart, each row containing 15 plants in a 6-feet-wide bed. To find out the number of plants such a bed will hold, multiply the length of the bed in feet by 30. Some prefer sowing the seeds singly in drills 2 or 3 inches apart, and at intervals of 1 to 2 inches apart in the row. In this event the same planting-board can be used, only the notches on one edge must be cut the required distance apart, the rows being 3 inches or less apart instead of 6 inches, as in the case of the plants. It is thus easy to figure out the area required for a given number of seeds. As shown in the illustration (Fig. No. 8), the shading in summer may also be accomplished by raising the lath covering on a framework of scantling firmly attached to posts, and high enough to permit of standing under it. The beds, however, should be boxed in as before noted, and on the approach of winter the sections of lath covering are removed to a barn or other dry place. This makes a rather elaborate structure, but is really preferable to the beds be
