X sometimes occurs that it becomes
necessary to transplant trees late in the
season, or after the buds have swelled
or new growth commenced. This can
be done quite safely if due caution is
gwen to protecting the root. from light
and air.
In removing trees or small shrubs aft
Ell growth has commenced, We have
watering pot full Of water near BY, as
soon as the tree is dug up, the roots are
re-sprinkled until every one is thorough
~ wet, then fine earth is scattered over
the large roots and small fibers, thus
preventing them from being affected BY
the light, as we'll as becoming dry while
being packed up or renewed from one
part of the grounds TO another A por-
ton OF the branches is also removed, and
usually ii is best to do this before dig

done much more Systematically and
readily while the tree 10 fixed in the

moved quite safely, even after growth
has commenced in the spring, if these

ed in until growth has commenced, the
roots may be puddled as taken out-that

SETTING FLOWER CUTTINGs.-A prac-
teal florist gives the following directions
for setting cuttings: A healthy plant
should be selected, land strong locking
woody pieces cut Off these, with bios
som on the end, rarely fail Trim off the
large leaves, and put them in water for
few hours or a day. Cuttings of ivy
(trddeScdutid.l wandering jew, canary
bird flower (ropaeoium peregrinum.)
and or!cander, should be started in wa
ter. in ihe shade, unu little root ap.
pears. Each cutting should have good
sized pot, or several cuttings can be put
in wooden box. The best soil tor am
ateurs to use il half good earth and half
white sand, well mixed, water well aud
keep in the .hade. but not in damp, until
the cuttings have taken, then give full
sun. Trsnsplanting gcraniums requires
skill. An amateur should use pots aud
keep the geramiums in them. sinking the
pots in summer: and if the earth i not
rich. they can be watcred with fertilizers
in winter. \ five inch pot will do tcr a
geranium for a year.
