 @aI he Sugar Maple is most successfully transplanted from fisa ilfst of April i6t tthe first of Nav or even Iater. according to tho season. The best time is when fhe buds are swollen, and just bursting into folia Fair, thrifiy young trees. of from two o tlifee Inches in slialne tefs should ba selefled and laken up with about as much care as Q Eeserving tho TOOLS as n re- m. afli6f trees of the sane size. he long roots may be shortened The stalk shu6ld then bs sawed pIf smoothl from tenAl twelve feet high. and no limbs of twigs left on it. In sotting, it is well to dig tte hole deeper than tlle roots reqpire, and 6ll ik partly with loan cr top mould.

All buds or sprouts below are to be rubbed off and inc stalk kept clean during the seas sOn. Any time before July will do for this. Sometimes the sprouts will grow so fast, be So brittle and tender, as to blow off Dy high winds. I have lost few fine trees in that way, but they will mostly re- cover by sppouting again.
