HINTS ON TBANSPLANTINO TBEES. 

 The proper season for transplanting fruit trees is daring the 

 months of February, March and April in the spring, and October, 

 November and December in the autunm. 



PBOPER AGE AND SIZE OF TBBK8 FOB 

 TBANSPLANTING. 



Experience has taught observing planters that a small, young 

 tree, set at the same time, wlQ in a few years overtake and pass a 

 large one, and continue more vigorous and productive. Large 

 trees are necessarily or unavoidably more injured in digging than 

 small ones. The latter can be moved with their system of roots 

 almost entire.
