As far as evergreens are c oncerned, it mnust be recognized, that àny suitabie specimens have been growvn. in the nursery for five or more years and that during that imeé they have been transplanted frequently t0 make them more satisfactory. There.. fore, their ard1aively higher price is, justified. Tree Main Faictrs The sticcess of shrub and evergreen plantings will depend upon three prin- cipal factors, namely the quality of the specimens planted, the manner of planting and the locations 'in which they are placed. When shrubs are taken f romn the, nursery the roots are usually packce rater hanthose whicil are carricu, in stores or displayed for. sale along some street.or highwaày. Shrubs not secured f ront the nursery are gener- ally, either plants which have been stored for some tîme after being dug or else they are. plants which have been removed from the nursery in the necessaàry 4thinninig" operations and not because they are -desirable specimens or especiàlly satisfactory for repflanting. Usually, littie care is observed in digging such plants and, as a resuit the mortality is'very high as' compared with',nursery, fresh plants.' Another important consider- ation is that most.nurseries will guar- antee the plantings made by them- selves, so that the initial cost is the Iast. Here's Planting Technsiqufe In planting shrubs, the plants should be set slighly. deeper tbaii tbey grew in.the nursery and thie holes should be aniply large to ac- commodate the roots without cramp- ing or bending thern. Any broken roots should be cut off clean and not broken off. A good, friable top soul should be worked ini aMong the roots. so that no air pockets remain, each successive quantity of soul being tamped in firmly. When the bole is filled evn with the surrounding soul lUAem.aP . o.G table additions, and if one were, to groW ail of the best types and colore in one garden it would have' to be a large one indeed. This continuons influx of new mem- bers can only be regarded. as a tribute to., the vitality, of the. floWer,. and its adaptability to almost every condi- tion.« Today we, can find a petunia to groW 'anywhere and of àa color 10 harmonize with any other flower or surround.ing.

It has a ve ry compact growth of a bally habit during its blooming period. This chaïacteristic, along with its small stature, only 6 to 8 inches, make il an ideal border plant, or window box subjeet. Like most petunias, it iu easily grown, and may be sown out ini the open, or started indoors in flats for early bloom and to lengthen the sea- son for them.
