LATE TRANsPLANTING.-Itis quite often
necessary to transplant trees and shrubs
after they have commenced growth in
spring. If cloudy, wet weather is select
ed in which to perform this operation Z;
there is little danger of loss. Even two
or three days of cloudy weather with lit.
tie or no rain viii have a wonderful effect
in preserving the lives of transplanted
trees We always choose cloudy or rainy
weather for transplanting any plants tina
have been overlooked, or: for any othel
Cause have begun to grow, and we woulC
+ much rather wait two or three weeks fol
rain than to transplant in warm, dry
weather. This, of course, refers only tt
