SUCCESS DEPENDS UPOX "WHAT? 



To succeed, then, in the transplanting of trees of all sorts requires four 

 prominent acquisitions, viz. : knowledge, caution, tact, and industry — that 

 knowledge whicli shall compass the habits of trees, their manner of growtli, the 

 effect of certain processes upon them, like pruning root and branch, removal 

 from one soil to another, etc. ; that caution wliich shall look well to trees and 

 seasons, shall avoid all unnecessary delays, and which shall avoid all careless- 

 ness in the handling of the trees and plants ; that tact which shall always nuike 

 the most of circumstances, and suggest methods that may take the place of 

 others found impracticable; tliat industry which is the main-spring of willing 

 labor which hastens first to do, tiien to do well what is done. I have often 

 heard of the "elixir that gardeners use" to bring their plants out of hard 

 places and push them ahead, an<l believe there is such a thing, but its principal 

 ingredient is untiring, interested labor.
