SEEDLING TREES AND FROST
(By Mary Strutherg Kimbell) Last December we planted 18 macpocarpa seedlings in a tin. In May of this year they were quite Arm in the ground and growing well, ‘ Since then we had some falls of snow and a series of frosts. When I examined the tin recently I noticed that 14 plants were out of the ground and lying on the top, and only four were still growing. Those still growing in the ground were sheltered by some chou-moel-lier. We have replanted the frostlifted seedlings in the hope that they will take root. Next winter we shall provide shelter forooutr t plants. NOTICE Specimens of insects or plants are invited from readers. The conditions under which such specimens are found as well as the locality should be clearly stated, It ,is necessary to state whether. Lhe specimen, il an insect, was dead or alive when, it was found.
