Transplanling Trees. 
In the first place see that the ground selected for orchard is thoroughly ploughed and well pul- 
verized. Dig the holes large enough to allow all the roots to spread out in their natural shape, two feet 
wide and two feet deep will usually do, though the larger and deeper the hole is, the better, as you get 
the ground more thoroughly worked up. After the holes are all dug take the trees from the bale a few at 
a time, so that they will not be exposed. Do not expose roots to sun or frost, fill the hole with loose 
moist soil until the tree will stand about the same depth as it stood in the nursery, trim off all the bruised 
parts of the roots, place the tree in the hole so that the roots will spread out naturally, throw in moist 
earth and pack it solid around the roots, after the roots are covered, and the ground packed thoroughly 
it is an excellent thing to throw in a bucket of water, then fill up the hole. To preserve from borers and 
other injuries during the first summer, wrap the trunk with cloth, woolen preferred— but burlap will do. 
Hints on Pruning. 
|;^The best dug tree loses more than half the fibrous roots that act as feeders. Shorten the top to cor- 
respond. Don’t fail to cut back heavily when you transplant. Don’t forget that a half root cannot sup- 
port a whole top. Never neglect pruning. Trees trained low protect their own trunks from the sun’s 
rays, are less liable to break with the weight of the fruit, and the fruit is easier gathered. 
Transplanting Potted Plants. 
(T^In transplanting potted plants, lift the ball carefully out of the pot, then with a sharp knife cut the 
circle of roots that encompass the outside of the ball, so as to force a straight and not a crooked root 
from the plant into the ground, in order that, as the tree or plant increases in size, it will not be so liable 
to blow over. Thousands of trees are annually blown over and destroyed by reason of this circle of 
roots, for as the root is shaped when the plant is set, so it will continue to grow. Bagged plants should 
be placed with the bag on, only cutting the string at the collar or top of the bag. 
Anything not mentioned in this Catalogue, or Greenhouse and Florists’ specialties, will be furnished 
at regular florists’ prices, provided it can be procured in the market.
