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 

 TRANSPLANTING. 

 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 anil produc- 

 tive. Large trees are necessarily or unavoidably more Injured 

 in digging Oian small ones. The latter can be moved with 

 their system of roots almost entire.
