TRANSPLANTING TREES. 



TiEruHE you dig up the Trees intended ro be tv<ui>planLed, or beiure you un[>ack 

 any you may have received, you shoidd iuliy prepare tlie lioles to receive them. 

 But if, from any cause, delay is indispensably necessary for preparing the holes, the 

 trees should be wellAAefc over the roots and branches, and the roots then l)e well 

 covered in a trench, till you are ready to jdant them, li is of great benefit to puddle 

 the roots of Trees before planting them, \^'hich operation should be performed thus : 

 jSlake n hole in the ground four feet m diameter, and two and a half deep, and till 

 it with water ; then pulverize equal quantities of ricli mould and old decomposed 

 manure, and throw in, and mix the whole well, so as to form a thick puddle. At tlie 

 time of- planting, place the roots of each tree in the puddle, giving the tree two or 

 or three turns imtil the puddle adheres to everj- root, then proceed inunediately to 

 plant it, the holes having been previously prepared as follows : Make the holes full 

 large in proportion to the size and spread of the roots of the ti'ees, so that they may 

 be spread out, and in no wise cramped. Tlie 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 useles.^. Mix in with the 

 surface soil about an equal portion of rich mould, and of old well-rotted manure, in 

 sufficient Cjuantity to replace the poisonous soil cast aside, and then pulverize the 

 whok'. This done, then spread a portion of the prepared compost at the bottom of 

 the hole, and after having pared any bruised or broken })arts of the roots of the tree, 

 place it in position, and at a depth of one inch below that at which it had previously 

 stood. Then, whilst one person holds the tree erect, let another till in the prepared 

 compost till the roots are covered, treading it down well ; then fill up the remainder 

 without treading, as the surface should be loose in order to receive the rains. 3k[ake 

 a slight cavity around the tree for the same object, and to receive waterings. When 

 thus planted, water the tree plentifully, and do the same occasional!}" afterwards, and 

 especially if the weather should prove dry. Evergreen Trees are usually trans- 

 l)lanted with b;dls of earth, and, tlierefore, the puddling will >m.' dispensed \viih, 

 unless some of the roots sliould become bare.
