TRANSFORMING IN THE NIGHT.
"A gentleman anxious to ascertain
the effect Of iransplanting at night,
instead Of in tho day, made an OK
pertinent with the following result /;
He transplanied ton cherry trees
while in bloom, commencing at 4
o clock in the afternoon and trans
planting one each hour until ]
O'Clock in tho morning. Those
transplnntcd in the daylight shed
their blossoms, producing little or no
fruit, while those planted during tho
darker portions maintained their con
ltion fully hIe did the same with
ten dwarf pear trees, after the fruit
was ono.ihird own, Those trans
planted daring be night pc iccted
their crop, and showed no injury
from having been removed. With
each of these trees he removed some
earth with the roots. The incident
is fully youehed for and if q few
more similar experiments produced
the same result il will be strong ar
gument 10 horticuturists, gardeners
and fruit growers TO do such work
entirely at night.
