Directions for Transplanting Trees 
Prepare the ground as for a crop of corn; dig the holes large enough to admit 
the roots without crowding them. Avoid any unnecessary exposure of the roots 
to sun or wind. Just take a small number in the field at a time and keep the bal- 
ance covered until wanted. The injured parts of the roots should be cut off 
smoothly with a sharp knife. ' 
Shortening the branches is another very important matter to tree life. It con- 
sists of cutting back the ends of the branches, but to what extent it should be done 
depends upon the portion of the trees' roots that have been lost. If a tree has 
lost the greater portion of its roots, then a severe shortening will be necessary; 
but in all cases they should be shortened at the head to a certain extent. 
The trees should have good clean cultivation, and as often as you do your 
corn crop. Hoed crops may be planted in the orchard for the first 4 years, after 
that the trees should have all of the soils subtance.
