why this month should be 



?y i V K T. are . Jul1 ^ 8 iven in lhe " Theoiy and 

 Iractict of Horticulture,- to which the reader 



desirous of understanding all the hearings of the 

 question is referred. It is enough to sav that the 

 great fitness of the latter part of September, W 

 nice pointed out by Horace Walpolb, himself a 

 pJanter of no small experience, is shown by 

 repeated experiments by Mariukr de Bois-d'hxvbil 

 at *ontainebleau, and others, instituted for the 

 express purpose of settling a matter so lone in 

 dispute, to be on the whole the best. 



Our present object is to show the opinion of 

 French gardeners upon this subject; an opportunity 

 for doing which is afforded by a little disctusion 

 that has taken place in the " Revue Horticole," 



Last May, M. Labarrk, gardener to the Baron 

 de Foilly, at Folembray, a place, we believe, not 

 far from the Belgian frontier, gave an account of 

 the result of Ins practice in removing evergreens of 

 considerable size. The substance of his report was 

 as follows :— 1. In the spring he removed a Yew 

 13 feet high, with a head in proportion. It took so 

 well that even an experienced gardener could not 

 have known, in the course of the same year, that it 

 had been transplanted. 2. In the following autumn 

 he had to move eight Spruces and two Scotch Firs ; 

 all failed^ 3. The next year, again in the spring, 

 another Yew was transplanted, as large as the first, 

 and with the same success. At the same time he 

 planted 170 other evergreens, of various kinds. On 

 the 15th March he planted 20 Spruces and six Yews; 

 the last were 15 feet high with heads in proportion* 

 each required 10 people to move it, and all were 

 expected to die. But all lived, although Mr. 

 Labarre adds, " the soil into which they were put 

 made their loss probable enough ; for it was full of 

 stones, and consisted of white sand mixed with a 

 little vegetable mould." (Why this should be un- 

 favourable soil is not explained. Suppose it had 

 been clay !) On the 7ih April 34 Norway Spruces 

 and 10 white Spruces (SapincUes) were planted, 

 from 6 to 10 feet high. They had been raised 

 in the nursery in grey sand, and M. Labarre 

 was astonished at the beauty of their growth 

 in such soil (why?). Only two of the Norway 

 Spruces died. In conclusion he explains how he 

 watered these trees. Each Yew planted in March 

 received a potfull of water when first planted, then 

 four times as much, and this was repeated several 

 times during the first month. In the April planting, 

 there being at that time a drying wind, the holes were 

 only three-quarters filled, and each tree received 

 two potsfull of water. Afterwards each hole was 

 filled in so as to remain a basin, and watering w*as 

 repeated during the continuance of the drought. 



To this statement M. Carri&ri , whose work on 

 Conifers was noticed the other day (p. 445), opposes 

 some counter experience. 1. He says that he was 

 obliged last year to take up, in the end of August, 

 some Chinese Arbor- Vitaes more than 15 years 

 old, and mostly above 6 feet high ; they were 

 removed carefully to a trench, the soil of which 

 was well watered before it was filled in, and they 

 suffered so little that no one could distinguish them 

 from the others which had not been removed. 

 2. A similar operation was performed in the spring 

 of 1854 with other Chinese Arbor- Vitaes of about 

 the same size, and a great many died notwithstand- 

 ing all the care that was taken of them. 3. Last 

 Septeml»er he potted 280 Yews without any other 

 care than plunging the pots and covering them with 

 leaves ; not one missed. But upon performing 



evergreen 





C**h 



tly the same operation upon ^._ 



Cypresses, loss was experienced to the extent of 



about one-third— a circumstance which M. Carriers 



^ inclines to attribute to the well-known difficulty of 



ua^^/rf^^w'^ ff ft t ~y 0l g^ jnTiT* ftTfffT 5 transplanting that species when it is simply 



N.P,. The Ghent steamer Fleche, for London, tails now regu- " drawn " (arrachSe & ratine* flU€S\ before trans- 

 iarly viceversd; by this way the expense of carriage is much rJantinff 

 reduced. " _- cr 



nrseryman, Ghent, Belgium 



Upon this result M. CarriEre remarks that it k
