TREES 



to sell them to you at a reasonable price, 

 and also, as farm work is not pressing in 

 late October or at the end of March, to dig 

 up and deliver the trees to you for the 

 price of a day's work. But don't trust 

 him to do it without oversight, unless you 

 know that the man has had experience and 

 been successful in getting out trees, and, 

 above all, have it understood and insist that 

 the roots must be whole, if there is a tap 

 root, that it shall all be there, that the tops 

 shall be uninjured, and, in fact, that the 

 whole tree be in good condition. 



If a few trees only are to be transplanted, 

 you will be interested to go yourself and 

 watch them dug out, to be sure that every 

 precaution is taken. Have some old stable 

 blankets or large pieces of burlap ready to 

 cover the roots of each tree as soon as lifted, 

 so that they do not become dry, and do not 

 allow more trees to be taken up than can 

 be moved to their new home and planted 

 the same day.
