Seedlings can be delivered to county drop-of- f, points or shipped by UPS this non-nati- ve spring. Early spring is the best time to plant seedlings, says Beagle. Planting with soil moisture from snow omelt will help ensure higher seedling survival. Most seedlings come packaged as bare root plants. Planting instructions are included, and foresters will provide technical help with species selections, site preparation, soils and moisture con-- , siderations and plant care.

Increasing humidity is important to the survival of household plants. In most cases, interior humidity in homes with forced-ai- r heating is 10 percent or low-- , er. By comparison, the relative humidity in the tropical areas from which the plants come is between 20 and 25 percent, says Sagers. Humidity can be increased by grouping plants together, by running a humidifier, or by constructing a pebble tray. Pebble trays are easy to construct and are effective, says Sagers. Take a leak-propan and fill it with pebbles or marbles. Add water to the tray so that it comes within a quarter of an inch from the top of the pebbles, set the t of and tagging for state contest steers January 6th Weigh-i- n , The first weighing and tagging date for steers for 1996 state sponsored livestock shows will be Saturday, January 6, 1996.
