The most of the stock has been fu l ly exposed to the sun for one or more years ; 
the smaller sizes (less than 6 inches,) should be planted in beds for one or two 
years, and shaded the first season ; the larger sizes are safe to plant in nursery 
row, or permanent plantation by keeping the roots moist before and while plant- 
ing, packing the earth firmly on the roots, placing loose soil on the surface, and 
mulching immediately after planting. With this treatment we are very success- 
ful with early fall as well as spring planting of evergreens. More particular in- 
formation is contained in our Catalogue issued in 1875. 
The Scotch I’ine is adapted to all dry soils, rich or poor, enduring a greater 
extreme of drouth, heat and cold, and subject to less per centage of loss in 
transplanting than any other Pine which has come under our observation and 
experience. For economic use the Timber ranks next to the White Pine. For 
■the.se qualities, and on account of its rapid growth, which is only exceeded by 
the Europe.an Larch, the Scotch Pine is one of the most v.aluable trees for 
Forest Plantation, Wind Bre.aks, Screens, and for Timber Belts for orchard 
protection. 
In regard to the beneficial results derived from protective Timber Belts, Prof. 
C. S. Sargent, Director of the Botanic Garden and Arboretum of Harvard Uni- 
versity, after quoting American and European authorities, and citing instances in 
proof in his “Suggestions on Tree Planting,” says: “The influence of belts of 
trees, especially of Spiked- Leaved Species, on local climate is important. 
“Such plantations serve as a material check to the natural force of cold winds 
from the North, which rapidly lower the temperature, hasten evaporation, and 
blow into drifts the snow, which would otherwise protect the ground with an 
even covering. There is no probable way in which the farmers of this State 
could more easily or more rapidly increase its agricultural product than by 
planting such .Screens from the Northeast to the Northwest of their farms, and 
their attention is particularly directed to the importance of this subject. Such 
plantations would be too limited in extent and too widely scattered to have any 
general influence on the climate or on the flow of water courses ; but as a means 
of direct profit it does not seem unreasonable to predict that such protection to 
our fields would increase the profits of their cultivation fully 20 per cent. 
“Orchards thus protected are still productive, and all gardeners know that 
plants generally supposed too tender to support our climate will thrive when 
planted under the protection of a garden wall, or among evergreen trees. What 
r-eha Hc:.l;:-! turi i. t; ^ ie.^=SfSad evergreen plafBations should 
be to the farmer.”
