BY A. G. HANFORD, WAUKESnA. 
Nursery-grown evergreens, if carefully handled, may be moved 
as safely as the most hardy deciduous trees. We prefer early 
spring, from the first breaking up of the winter, until the buds 
open ; perhaps the best time is just as the buds are swelling. 
Some successful planters recommend rather later—aftergrowth 
has fully commenced, extending the time until the first of June. 
Last spring we moved 3000, from one to three feet high, after 
many had made a growth of one or two inches, and notwith¬ 
standing the severe drouth of the following summer, we lost 
less than a dozen plants. The distance, however, was not 
great, and they had been moved twice before, hence were well 
furnished with fibrous roots. We know of successful plant¬ 
ing late in summer, after growth had ceased. 
Removals from the forests are always attended with risk. 
To insure reasonable success, choose small plants from open 
situations, observe the utmost care in their removal, keep the 
roots moist, and do not expose to sun or air. During the past 
ten or fifteen years, many hundreds of evergreens have been
