Transplantins Trees.

1t is popular idea that trees, and
especially deciduous ones, from the
shedding of their leaves in Autumn
until about the time of the swelling Of
the buds for the ensuing foliage, re-
main in dormant condition; but such
is not the fact, at least in climates like
that of this country.
Although there may be no visible
signs of active life above the ground,
there is continual circulation of sap,
and the roots continue to grow, form
ing additional tibrous ones with their
terminating spongioles, ready to en-
gage in the work of sucking moisture
from the ground, to be carried up and
employed in the foliage season for the
further building up of the form and
for the fruit.
This continued activity of trees may
be easily demonstrated, and the growth
of new rootlets observed, by planting
lat this time, November,) in warm,
moist ground green willow-cutting
or stake, and allowing it to remain so
planted in the warm moist ground
until about the time when it conf
mences to develOpe new buds and
sprouts, and then carefully removing
the ground from around the buried
part of the cutting, the new rootlets
which have been thrown out during
this apparent dormant state will be
discovered.
1t is a law of the physiology of
plants worth being known and re-
membered by the planters, that when
the earth, in which the roots of
a tree is imbedded, is warmer than
the atmosphere surrounding the
branches of the trees, the down.
ward flow or circulation of the sap is
more active, and the formation of root.
lets with their sucking mouths more
rapid than when these conditions are
reversed. In other words, when one
extremity of a tree or plant is warmer
or mOister than the other the predom-
mating flow of sap is toward the
warmest extremity.
BY attention to this law, and follow
ing its dictates, gardeners are enabled
to successfully propagate many va
rieties of trees and shrubs, from slips
and cuttings, which otherwise rarely
grow from cuttings.
The foregoing facts should serve as
guides in transplanting trees. They
teach the importance of care and skill
in the taking up from the ground and
in tina removal of trees that are to be
transplanted, so that as many rootlets,
with unharmed eXtremities as possi-
BILE may remain attached to the tree,
and that the tree, especially the
tibrous roots, should be as little ex-
posed as possible to the effects of
drying atmosphere. That, if planted
in dry ground, it should be imme-
diately wet, to prevent the desication
of the spongioies by the dry earth
with which they are placed in contact.
That the most favorable season of the
year for transplanting is that in which
the earth Is warmer than the atmos-
phere. That the longer time that en-
sues after the tree is transplanted be-
fore the upward flow of the sap pre-
dominates, the better. That the ear
lier in the fall, as soon as the tempe
nature of the atmosphere falls below
that of the ground, and while the lat
ter still retains heat acquired in the
summer, the transplanting is done,
the less check to the growth of the
tree will be given by the operation.
