THE MECHANICAL SIDE OF PLANTING 
It is an easy matter to determine whether 
a rose has been "budded" or grown on its 
own roots. Those grown on own roots 
look something hke this >* :> 
Those which have been "budded" look 
like this.

PROPER PLANTING SEASONS 
Framingham Nursery stock, both of evergreen and deciduous variety, may be suc- 
cessfully transplanted in the Spring, from the time that the frost is out of the ground (which 
in New England usually averages about April first) until the buds burst, late in May. 
In the Fall, evergreens should be set out from the first of August until early November. 
Deciduous trees and shrubs may be planted for a Fall period beginning the latter part of 
September and continuing until the ground freezes. The extent of this Fall planting season 
depends largely upon climatic conditions; as, of course, frost comes and the winter sets 
in much earlier in some sections than in others.
