 be glad to answer as far as I am able. 



Professor ROTH. I would like to ask Mr. Todd what he has found to be the best 

 method of planting out oak trees? 



Air. TODD. The best effects are usually obtained from nursery grown trees, which 

 can be planted up to 20 feet, when carefully done. The best effect is usually obtained 

 from eight to ten-foot trees.
