SPRUCE PINES IN NEW YORK. 
Nearly all of the Pines and Spruces which will 
grow in New York complete their season’s growth 
early in the summer and hy the middle of August 
have passed into their winter conditions. From 
this time until the final freezing of the soil these 
species can be dug, transported and replanted 
with very little danger and with good promise of 
success. It is well to finish the planting several 
weeks before the final freezing so that the fall 
rains will pack the soil firmly about the roots 
thus preventing deep freezing and possible throw¬ 
ing out of the little trees in the spring. 
The European Larch and the broad leaved 
trees, such as the Ash and Basswood and Tulip 
are not as well suited for fall planting as are the 
evergreens. As the season’s growth does not ma¬ 
ture until later the broad leaves should not be 
removed from the ground until the leaves have 
fallen. This often does not occur until after the 
first severe frost so that the season for fall plant¬ 
ing of these species is much more restricted. They 
can be planted, however, especially if unusual 
care is taken to see that the soil is firmed about 
the roots and during the first winter fresh soil, 
in which there is no sot or manure, is piled 
around the roots as protection against frost.
