Seedlings are young plants, grown from seed, that have never 
been transplanted, and are generally designated by their size or

age. They form the cheapest class of nursery stock, and are 
used largely for starting windbreaks. 
Transplants are seedlings that have been at Ieast once trans- 
planted, and are designated by the size and number of times they 
have been moved. They are higher in price than seedlings, but 
with some kinds of trees they are much more likely to grow, 
and may be well worth the extra price. Evergreens, especially 
pines, will seldom do well unless once transplanted before being 
set in a permanent place. 
Street Trees include the trees of large size which are used 
for street, shade and ornamental purposes. ‘To be of the best 
quality they should have been transplanted two or more times 
and have received some attention in the way of pruning so as to 
give them a good form. Such trees vary much in quality and 
price, but the best are necessarily rather expensive. 
Forest-pulled Deciduous Trees of small size can often be 
obtained at a very low price, and may be as desirable as those 
that are nursery grown. 
Forest-pulled Evergreen Seedlings may also be desirable, 
but too often they have poor roots, or have been so injured by 
poor handling that they are generally worthless. 
Forest-pulled Shade Trees sometimes grow very well, but 
they are always inferior to good nursery-grown trees. ‘They are 
greatly improved by having their roots shortened two years 
before they are to be removed, and when so treated grow very 
well. 
TRANSPLANTING. 
Transplanting is Simply the Removal of the Plant. 
It may be to some permanent place, as a park, lawn, or street, 
or it may be done for the purpose of improving the root system,
