planted, by wrapping them or the entire plant in paper or 
burlap. Woody plants should be collected during the fall, 
winter, or early spring months, while in dormant condition. 
Hardy herbaceous perennials can be most successfully 
moved while dormant. However, they may also be trans- 
planted at other times of the year with fair success, if lifted 
carefully with a lump of earth adhering to their roots, kept 
moist until planted, and practically all of their leaves re 
moved, to prevent undue evaporation of moisture until the 
plant is established in its new home. Plants must be watered 
immediately after transplanting and shaded for a few days. 
Plants which are rare in any locality should be moved 
only by one whose experience will guarantee a successful re- 
sult, and such plants may generally be purchased from men 
who make a specialty of growing them, or who are collecting 
them in other localities where they are plentiful. The scarcity 
of a plant in a certain section of the country does not always 
indicate its scarcity in another. 
Native plants needing protection—The following plants, 
formerly abundant in this vicinity, are becoming very rare, 
some of them almost, if not entirely, exterminated. For this 
reason they should not be collected for any purpose whatso- 
ever, but should be left to be admired in their native habitat.
