vious to moving, all or part way around the tree at a 

 diameter less than the size of tlie ball to be moved, is

 outside the ball. 



Evergreens may be moved any month in the year. In 

 June and July, the new growth is likely to wilt more 

 than in August, after it has hardened. It is well to pro- 

 tect from deep freezing and drying winds in winter.
