During the first year keep the ground stirred around the trees and shrubs; use an ordinary hoe and work the mulching into the soil. Use the hoe frequently during the entire summer; do not let the ground bake; frequent stirrings conserve the moisture and the working of the manure mulching into the soil feeds the young rootlets. In November or December apply another mulching of well-rotted stable manure and the trees will be in fine shape for their second year's growth. Don't Plant Old Trees. We have many calls from beginners for 3- and 4-year old trees, because they feel that the trees will bear earlier and make a stronger growth than younger trees. This is a mistake. Don't plant a fruit tree older than two years; we really prefer a vig- orous one-year-old. Trees that are 3 and 4 years old do not recover as quickly from the shock of trans- planting, are not as easy to trans- plant, are more apt to 'die, and if they do live, will not make the clean, vigorous growth of a younger tree. To secure the best results, use first class young trees, never more than two years old. This
