Che Roots of plants. 
We seldom hear much said about the root system of a tree or plant, 
in fact, if the top of the plant looks shapely, little is thought of it otherwise 
by the usual buyer; but the fact is, its root system is an all important 
feature in its economy. If a plant is to be transplanted successfully, it 
is of. great importance that its roots have been suitably trained, and. this 
applies especially to the larger trees and all evergreens. Appreciating 
this, we regularly root prune our trees, resorting to various, ways of doing 
this work, with the result that the stock we send out is in the best of 
condition, both under and above ground, for successful transplanting.
