better about the spOngioles than can be done
by swayng and treading. This is Mr.. Secre-
tary Goodale's idea See his report for 1868
page 172:
The holes being large enough to allow ey-
cry root Its natural position, without bending
or crowdiDg, spread out the tibres i'm every di,
rectlon as widely and evenly as possible, while
nne mould Is sitted among them one person
holding the tree while another fills the hole.
Let every root be In close contact riM he
S0H, ana no rdcdncy dttotoed. When nearly
nled, pour in few quarts of water from a
watering pot to settle the earth among the
hne roots, and complete the filling with dry,
mellow surface soil.
Lindley, whom Mr.. Dana seems TO regard
as authority, and whose "principles," he COM
mends to our consideration, goes even further
than MIR. Goodale. In his Theory of Horticul-
ture," page 294, he says:
I BY many excellent planters, the advantage
OF detugtn9 the roots with water, when newly
planted, is much insisted on; and in the case
OF large plants, particularly evergreens, it is
undoubtedly an essential process. partlv be-
cause it causes the tagging and injured roots
TO be Immediately surrounded by an abundant
supply OF liquid food, which, if the operation
be skiltuliy performed (see Macnab's treatise
p "a and 25l, will not subsequently fail them:
and partly because it is the only means we
possess OF embedding with certainty all the
fibres in soil. When the earth is reduced to a
state OF puddle it will settle round the finest
roots, and place them as nearly as possible in
the same condition, with regard to the soil,
they were in before the plants were removed
With all due Difference to the authority of
Lindey, however, ,oe should never wish to ap-
ply puddle to the fibrous roots, lest, when it
becomes in,anywise dry, the mortar should bake
and crack, and thus deprive the rootlets of the
power to penetrate the mass, and draw nour-
ishment from it. On this point, we think Sir
William Cobbett is nearer right than Mr..
Lindley, for he objects TO watering altogether,
or even waiting for shower TO perform the
operation. In his "American Gardener" he
thus affirms:
If possible, transplant when the ground is
not wet; but here again, as in the case of SOW
ing let it be dug or deeply moved and well
broken Immediately before you transplant into
1t. There is fermentation which takes place
immediately after moving, and dew arises
that did not rise before. These greatly exceed,
in power OF causing the plant TO strike, any
thing to be obtained by rain on the plants at
the time of planting, or planting in wet earth
would prefer no rain tor month to
rain at the time of planting"
We cheerfully submit the above authorities,
together with the ideas Of our friend Mr.. Da-
ma, and our own practice to the consideration
and good Judgment of the intelligent readers
of the Press. r.a
