MINIATURE TREES.
Simple Plan by Which Plant* May h
Dwarfed In the Growing.
For many centuries the Japaneee
have closely guarded the secret of
growing: miniature trees. Indeed, un
til recently they did not allow the
trees to l>e taken out of the country;
wealthy people keep them ae art
treasurers. Now, lu America, dwarf
trees bring a good price and are used
ns house plants and table decorations.
Ry following the plan here described
almost any one can raise diminutive
trees with little trouble.
Get a* few large, thick skinned
oranges nu<l halve them. Remove tha
pulp and cover the outside of the
skins with thick shellac. That will
keep the skins from shriveling. Fill
the skins with fine, rich soil, and piant
therein a seed of whatever tree you
wish to raise—or rather two or three
seeds, to insure at least one good speci
men. . '■
Make a stand of some kind so that
the growing tree can be kept In nn
upright position nnd set the plants
where they will get plenty of sun, brt
do not keep them in a room that is
likely to become overheated. Water
them regularly, but not too profusely
After n time the roots will begin to
come through the orange peel. When
that happens cut the roots off flush
with the outer surface of the orange
peel, but be careful not to injure the
film of shellac.
It Is the cutting of the roots that
stunts the plants. When the tree has
reached maturity you can transfer it
to a more attractive holder. Conifers
such as cedars, pines and cryptomeriaa
can be readily stunted; so also can
other evergreens, ns ilex and Citrus
trifollata. Some dwarf cedars haTe
been known to live more than 500
years. Fruit trees, such as the orange
and plum, blossom and bear perfect
fruit—Youth's Companion. ■;
Granite and Water, v. .
A coat made of granite, while per
haps not the most comfortable article
of wearing apparel—although granite
In thin sheets is flexible—might be
thought to be storm proof, yet granite
will absorb a considerable amount of
moisture. If a cubic yard of granite
that had been completely dried out
were Immersed in pure water It would,
according to the United State* geolog
ical survey, after a short time take up
four gallons of water.
