form better roots and also reduces the 

 cost of the operation. The condition of 

 the material at the time of transplant- 

 ing is of gre.at importance. It must be 

 fresh and dormant. The best time for 

 transplanting most trees is just at the 

 time when the new growth is started. 



This applies both to evergreen and 

 deciduous material. Although the plant- 

 ing season may be lengthened, the best 

 time for transplanting is exceedingly 

 shott. In many nurseries this work in- 

 terferes with shipping, but it is poor 

 business to make transplanting wait un- 

 til the end of the shipping season. 

 Transplanting should .start, in the lati- 

 tude of Amherst, Mass., April 5 to 10 

 with deciduous species, and April 12 to 

 25 with evergreens. Hemlocks should be 

 transplanted especially early; that is, 

 before any growth starts. Spruce, ju- 

 niper and arborvita? will stand later 

 transplanting. 



In order to get this work properly 

 done in the nur.sery, it is necessary to 

 make a detailed program for trans- 

 planting and to follow one species with 

 another until the work is done. Fre- 

 quent transplanting is desirable with 

 some species, especially evergreens. 

 Most of these should be transplanted 

 at least every two years, though much 

 depends on the character of the soil 

 and the amount of growth made. Care 

 must be taken to keep the roots from 

 drying during transplanting. Puddling 

 the roots is recommended. 



When deciduous shade trees are trans- 

 planted from these beds into nursery 

 rows, they are set close together. After 

 two years they are cut back to the 

 ground and trimmed to one stem, which 

 shoots up four or five feet, making 

 straight stems to form the future trunks. 

 These trees arc then transplanted the 

 next year into permanent nursery rows. 



KRIEE FINDS BUSINESS COMING. 



N. I. W. Kriek, sales manager of the 

 Weller Nurseries Co., Holland, Mich., 

 which recently absorbed the Standard 

 Bulb Co., at Benton Harbor, Mich., has 

 just returned from a four weeks' trip 

 through the southwest central states and 

 visited Kansas City during the conven- 

 tion of the Southwestern Nurserymen's 

 Association. His observations on that 

 trip have led him to make the following 

 comments on current trade conditions: 



"Although it may be that last fall's 

 business was not above normal, 1922 cer- 

 tainly sets in finely in the nursery and 

 mail order seed, bulb and plant trade. 



"If any business in the United States 

 is on a sound basis, it certainly is the 

 florists' and nursery business. The de- 

 mand for flowers, flowering plants and 

 general landscape planting has grown 

 tremendously in this country during the 

 last few years. The energy with which 

 nurserymen and florists are taking ad- 

 vantage of the great possibilities as- 

 sures that our linos will await nothing 

 but prosperity. 



"Florists and nurserymen who create 

 alaiulscapc dcprirf nmnt in their business 

 are uji-to date and wide-awake. At some 

 future time the public will be ashamed 

 of using their backyards as a dump pile 

 and that time will be hastened by our 

 telling the public, either through 'local 

 advertising or c.nt.Tlognes or otherwise, 

 how to improve home grounds." 



The nurserymen, florists and seeds- 

 men whom Mr. Kriek met. with hard- 

 ly any exception, find business satisfac- 

 tory. Conditions are getting back to
