ANOTHER HARDY GARDEN BOOK 



about some trees of vigorous growth, hoping 

 that the amateur may find it helpful. 



The native trees of the locality where you 

 live are sure to flourish. The climate and 

 soil suit them. They will bear transplanting 

 well, and, if carefully attended to, are quite 

 sure to live. Drive around the country, 

 notice the trees growing by the roadside or 

 about the older places and farm-houses; see 

 what trees are in the woodlands, and after 

 deciding what you want, order them from 

 some good nursery, or, what is more inter- 

 esting, get them from the fields and woods. 



Deciduous trees must be transplanted 

 either in the very early Spring as soon as 

 the ground can be dug, or in late October, 

 after the leaves have fallen. If you own 

 no fields or woodlands where young trees 

 are growing, then go about the country 

 until you find what you want; if you think 

 they can be obtained, make friends with the 

 farmer (it will probably be a farmer) who 

 owns the trees; he will undoubtedly be glad
