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 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.
