CHAPTER V. 

 TRANSPLANTING AND CARE OF PLANTATIONS. 



TRANSPLANTS and land should be quite ready for work by Novem- 

 ber, or at the latest December. We want our trees to get well 

 established, and some growth on them before the dfy season 

 comes, and, therefore, should get them in just as soon as pos- 

 sible after the first good rains. "We do not mean to say that 

 trees planted out, even as late as March, will not live and grow 

 well. If it is impossible because of pressure of other farm work 

 to plant out before the end of the year, then by all means 

 do the work then. It is best to plant early, but it is also better 

 to plant out in February or March, than to lose another year. 

 Trees planted in November will put on a lot of growth the same 

 season, and we have known Eucalypts to grow six feet during 

 their first season. Trees planted in March will root Well, and 

 oe ready for steady work the following Spring. 



Spacing. 



Thero is much difference of opinion about tlie correct esp<iee- 

 ment of trees in plantation form, and you must not be astonished 

 if our recommendations do not agree with those of others. We 

 will only say that we have, as far as possible, obtained the 

 opinions of our best authorities, and give the concensus of this 

 opinion. We have also carefully examined the best plantations.
