TrnnspIantinr Large Trees.

The following may be OF special inter-
est to some Of our readers Just at this time
AZ possessing practical value:
The system IF transplanting large trees
has been practiced in Paris during the
last few years to an extent unknown else
where. In spring and autumn the trans
pIanting trucks or wheeled frames are to
be seen in oil directions, and the Champs
Ulysses, the BOulevards and the various
squares recently laid ont in many parts
OF the city. have been adorned by thou
sands of noble trees by these means. A
report has been made on the subject tie
the Central Society of Horticulture, by
which we are informed that horse-ches-
nut trees, more than 80 inches in diane
ter, and catalpa tree $50 years old and
% inctes in diameter, have been trans
planted with success. Another and very
remarkable case is mentioned, namely,
that of three good-sized trees, growing IN
in such q manner that they could not be
separated, having been removed together
from priy8te garden about to be Destroy
ed; the mass of roots and earth measur-
ing about 10 feet 10 length. 1t has been
discovered that the bleeding of trees and
the attacks of insects, after the cutting
of Of branches, may be stopped by the
simple method of brushing Of the parts
exposed with paste made of wood ashes
and water the ashes enter between the
hbers of the wood and prevents exudstiOn.
while the alkaline property OF the mixture
keeps of insects.

The precious document was run up by

ter rested at that until last Thursday, when
the propristOrs of the Chicago Times, the

three thousand dollars. At last accounts
this was the highest bid. Whether it will
be struck of to the Times, depends alto
gether upon the honesty and lberality
