ON TKANSPLANTING TEEES. 



EY EOBEET HUTCHISON, OP CAELOWEIE, EIEKLISTON. 



N" transplanting, the first care of tlje workmen is to dig a trench around 

 the plant at a radius of not less than 6 feet from the stem. Having 

 done so to a depth of about 2 to 2^ feet, the points of the spades maybe 

 directed inwards towards the root of the tree, and having thus disen- 

 gaged the plant from its moorings, it may be carefully lifted, if the dis- 

 tance be short, to its new position. 



Should the ball be composed of such earth as is apt to crack or break away, it 

 should, before being lifted out of the trench, be properly secured by boards roughly 

 nailed around it, after having been carefully tied together and sewn up in matting, 

 and damped. 



Too much attention cannot be paid to the protection, as much as possible, of the 

 young roots from the influence of the atmosphere ; and, consequently, to save un- 

 necessary exposure, the pit intended for the reception of the plant should be pre- 

 viously dug and prepared for it. If the weather be dry and favourable, we do not 

 object'to this having been done, and the earth thrown up to pulverize under the 

 action of the air for a couple of weeks prior to the operation of transplanting. 



Before placiug the root-ball into the pit, a little dry, fine soil should first be 

 thrown into the hole, and if the situation be very low, or the soil heavy, it is a 

 decided advantage to have the immediate spot well drained by means of small loose 

 stones, or coarse gravel, laid in narrow .slits radiating from the pit to a distance of 

 about three yards, deepening such little runlets for superabundant moisture at the
