ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT. 5 STAKING AND SHADING Many trees may be seen along sidewalks and roadsides crooked and bent. A stake of sufficient size set at time of planting, and the tree firmly tied to it until of sufficient size to resist the sway of the wind, will insure a straight growth; Evergreens of large size should be staked so that the wind will not pull them loose during a long rain or storm. On dry ground, or where there are no facilities to water, trees should be shaded on the southwest with a board or a piece of burlap, wound loosely around the body of the tree up to its limbs. AFTER-CULTURE The success of the newly planted trees depends entirely upon the care and cultiva- tion they receive the first three months after planting. All Evergreens should be kept watered until they make a new growth. The ground should be kept loose by cultiva- tion for at least three feet around the tree. If the ground is not under cultivation the surrounding dry soil will absorb all the water given the tree. A mulch can be put around the tree to keep the soil from baking.
