LARGE VS. SMALL TREES EOR TRANS¬ 
PLANTS G. 
Editors IIural 'There is a great mania 
through this section of the country, for plant¬ 
ing large trees of all descriptions. The general 
desire is to obtain fruit trees that aro at least 
two inches in diameter, and ten or twelve feet 
high, for door-yard and orchard planting.— 
This practice is very unwise, and a decided loss 
to the individual that sets them. It must be 
clear to every thinking mind, that a preponder¬ 
ance of roots over the body and top of the tree, 
are indispensable to their rapid growth, and 
that if the roots arc deficient in proportion to 
the size of the body and top, that the tree can¬ 
not increase in size until the roots have first 
o-rown into the ascendancy. The root is the 
first part of the tree formed, and at the end of 
the first year’s growth is from two to four times
