FALL TRANS-PLANTING. 
As the issuing of the foregoing essay in this form has been so long de- 
layed, I embrace the opportunity thus afforded to give the results of plant- 
ing some over a thousand large sized apple trees in the fall of ’68, in the 
same manuer as those planted in the spring of the same year, as set forth 
on 1ith and 12th pages of this essay. The past winter having been quite 
favorable, I find that the fall-planted trees have all lived, without a single 
case of failure among them. 
I have transplanted apple trees in the first tex days of September that 
grew and did well. But trees moved at any time in the fall while in green 
leaf should be carefully protected from all exposure of the roots to the dry 
air or sun, and so covered that they will surely keep damp while in transit. 
: The usually good roads in the fall should especially be improved at any 
time from the Ist of October to the 15th of November, by those at a 
greater or less distance from the nursery who wish to transplant large or 
bearing trees. A good preparation to carry such trees without injury, is 
more than half that is requisite to entire success in the undertaking. This 
by many is thought of the last importance, and ‘splendid failures’’ being, 
in such cases the too frequent result, fall planting is henceforth by them 
condemned. But none need fail, and few comparatively do fail who pur- 
pose and execute at all commensurate to the importance of the object sought 
to be attained.

WESTERN TREES FOR WESTERN ORCHARDS. 
The Proprietor of Beebee’s Nurseries solicits a continuance of the liberal 
patronage hitherto bestowed, and hopes by assiduous attention to the 
wants of all his customers to merit their continued confidence. 
His stock of hardy grafted apple trees, suitable for transplanting, is 
large and well tested. Also Pears, Plums, Cherries, Grapes, Blackberries, 
Raspberries, Gooseberries and Strawberries of the best varieties for the 
Northwest. 
Bearing Currants of all kinds, very fine and cheap. 
Evergreens, and all hardy ornamentals, as Roses, Paeonies, Dahlias, and 
Climbers of various kinds. 
All orders will be promptly filled, and teams coming for trees will be 
loaded with as little delay as possible. 
Why not plant out the orchard and ornament our homes now, thet we 
may enjoy those luscious fruits, and “things of beauty,” the sooner and 
the longer ?
