PLANTING AND TRANSPLANTING EVERGREENS. 183 



in no circumstances should evergreens be moved in 

 hot, dry sunshine, in cold, parching winds, or in actual 

 frost; at such times, the roots and foliage are sure to 

 suffer while they are out of the ground. Further, it 

 is not generally advisable to shift them before the 

 annual shoots are somewhat ripened, in autumn. 



Note. — ^The subjects comprised in this chapter being 

 chiefly of a 2>^'ofessional character, and equally appli- 

 cable to this country as to Great Britain, it is only 

 necessary to refer those who wish to avail themselves 

 of its instruction to a close and discriminating study 

 of every deiDartment discussed by our author. — Ed.
