Abstract

From the falling of the foliage in autumn until it re-appears in the spring, is the season for transplanting nursery stock.While the ground is frozen only trees six or more inches in diameter are moved, because of the additional expense in getting out a frozen ball of earth.For this reason, when possible, we prefer to handle large trees in mid-winter, so as to bring the roots undisturbed in their native soil.The planting of smaller trees, shrubbery and herbaceous plants is carried on during March, April and May in spring, and September, October and November in autumn.'These monthsare also the proper time for shipping nursery stock.Early orders insure first selection and the most complete assortments.
