HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING TREES. 

 The proper season for transplanting fruit trees is 

 during the months of February,, March and April in the 

 spring, and October, November and December in the 

 autumn. 



PROPER AGE AND SIZE OF TREES FOR 

 TRA N S P L A N TING. 

 Experience has taught observing planters that a 

 small, young tree, set at the same time, will in a few 

 years overtake and pass a large one. and continue more 

 vigorous and productive. Large trees arc necessarily 

 or unavoidably more injured in digging than small 

 ones. The latter can be moved with their system of 

 roots almost entire.
