TiAJtS^L^NjftMQ TREES, 



Before you remove the Tree? intended to he transplanted, W before you 



unpack any you may ha\ e received, 3*011 should fully prepare the^roreslo receive 

 them. But if, from any cause, delay is indispensably necessary in preparing the 

 holes, the trees should be well wet over the roots and branches, and the roots be 

 then entirely well covered in a trench, till you are ready to commence planting 

 them. It is of great benefit to puddle the roots of Trees before planting, which 

 operation should be performed thus: — Make a hole in the ground four feet in 

 diameter, and two ami a naif deep, and till it with water; then pulverize equal 

 quantities of rich mold and old decomposed manure, and throw in, and mix the 

 whole well, so as -to form a thick puddle. At the time of planting, place the 

 roots of each tree in the puddle, giving the tree two or three turns until the 

 puddle adheres to every root, then proceed immediately to plant it, the holes 

 having been previously prepared as follows: — Make the holes full large in pro- 

 portion to the size and spread of the roots of the trees, so that they may be 

 spread out and in no wise cramped. The usual diameter will be three to four 

 feet, and the depth two to three feet. In removing the earth, place the surface 

 soil aside by itself, and cast away the poisonous bottom soil as useless. Mix in 

 with the surface soil about an equal portion of rich mold, and of old, well-rotted 

 manure, in sufficient quantity to replace the inferior soil cast aside, and then 

 pulverize the whole. This done, then spread a portion of the prepared compost 

 at the bottom of the hole, and after having j ared any bruised or broken parts 

 of the roots of the tree, place it in position, and at a depth of one -inch below
