B^*The  annual  loss  of  trees  and  shrubs  would  be  greatly  lessened  if  they  were  protected  as  much 
as  possible  while  out  of  the  ground.  The  exposure  of  the  roots  of  some  kinds  of  trees  to  a  severe  drying 
wind  or  a  hot  sun  for  an  hour  is  sure  death  to  them.  Particularly  is  this  the  case  with  evergreens,  as 
their  sap  is  resinous  and  when  dried  cannot  be  restored  to  its  normal  condition.
