as a new tenant so often finds that they 
do. But the work of removing them is 
done deliberately and each step followed 
successively without skips. The moving 
may be done either in the spring before 
growth starts, or in the autumn after the 
leaves have fallen. 
Begin digging on the line of a circle as 
large as the top of the bush to be moved, 
drawn from the bush itself as centre. 
Work in towards the shrub with a pick 
or a crowbar preferably, loosening the 
earth all around and digging it up and 
throwing it out as fast as it is loosened. 
If a shovel has to be used, hold it with its 
flat side on a line parallel with the radii of 
the circle rather than towards the bush. 
This prevents its cutting off the ends of 
roots, for these radiate from the plant of 
course, and the shovel blade strikes be¬ 
tween them instead of across them. 
When the roots are exposed work on 
down through them and around under 
them, tilting the bush gently back and 
forth to help in loosening them from the 
soil. Do not drag it out forcibly under 
any circumstances, but take time and do 
the work with as little loss of small root¬ 
lets as possible. These are really the most 
valuable. 
The earth will yield more readily the 
day or two after a shower, but do not un¬ 
dertake transplanting anything immediate¬ 
ly after a rain. When the ground is wet 
it is likely to cake into mud pockets around 
roots and leave them “hung" as it dies out. 
If a receptacle large enough to take in 
the roots is available have it at hand, half 
full of a “puddle" — a mixture of earth 
and water the consistency of cream—into 
which to plunge them as soon as they are 
out of the ground, and carry the shrub 
to its new quarters in this receptacle. A 
very large shrub can hardly be handled in 
this way, however, so other precautions to 
shade and protect its roots until they are 
once more in the ground must be taken, to 
prevent them from drying out. 
Dig a hole to receive it as large and as 
deep as the hole it came out of and of the 
same form, allowing for all root eccen¬ 
tricities and irregularities. Cut back the 
top as already directed in the reference to 
pruning, and cut off all bruised and broken 
roots. Set it into this hole, placing all the 
main roots in the same position they occu¬ 
pied — the position they will naturally take 
if not twisted or cramped — and throw the 
earth over and around the roots, by single 
shovelfuls. Work it under and through 
them by tamping it with a round-ended 
stick, taking time. Hurry is fatal, for 
hurry means lack of thoroughness. 
When the hole is half filled, pour in 
water slowly, all around, to settle the 
earth. When this has leached down and is 
completely out of sight, go on filling until 
the saucer depression stage is reached. 
Pack the earth by tramping, then fill the 
“saucer" with water and leave for awhile. 
At the end of a few hours throw a half 
inch of loose earth over the ground all 
around, for a dust mulch, to conserve the 
water. /
