 through their new surroundings differing from 

 their original environment. The greatest care 

 should be taken to get trees with a good root-

 mass of earth around the roots, so as to inter- 

 fere as little as possible with the connections 

 formed between the roots and the soil; in fact. 



trees can be transplanted at almost any season 

 if a good large ball of earth is left around the 

 roots. The greatest care should, of course, be 

 taken that the roots should not be allowed to dry 

 out, especially in the case of evergreen (coni- 

 ferous) trees. In other respects the directions 

 already given for planting the trees should be 

 followed.
