. Bulletin. Agriculture -- Ontario. 29 or sandy soils which cannot be cultivated for fear of blowing-, washing out, etc., and rough rocky or steep land which it would be impossible to cul- tivate, need certain differing treatment. The ease and speed with which planting may be done depends upon the looseness of the soil. Where soil has been cultivated the operation is a simple one and can be done with a common spade. The planting hole can be made by driving in the spade and moving it backward and forward, giving an opening as seen in Fig. 16a. If the soil is very sandy and loose, the plant may need to be placed in position before the spade is removed to prevent the filling up of the planting hole. In some cases the soil may be worked about the roots with a planting peg, as. Fig. 17—Planting peg. Fig. 17, which can be made in a few minutes. Frequently the planter discards the above tools and prefers to place the soil about the roots with his hands, which method is probably as satisfactory as any. After the roots have been covered it is very necessary to firm the soil, which may best be done with the foot. The roots should always be firmly covered. The plants should be transferred from the spot where they are "heeled in" or packed to the planting hole by carrying in a pail. This pail should contain muddy water the consistency of a batter and the plants should have their roots submerged in this batter. Plants should be immediately transferred from pail to planting hole and covered at once. The roots of the plants should not be allowed to have the direct rays of the sun for a moment. In no case should the plants be dropped in advance of the planter. Openings or holes should not be made far ahead of the planter, as it gives the soil an opportunity to dry out. A man and boy can do this work very well together, and two working together will obtain the best results. One preparing the planting holes, the other placing the plant and covering it.
