 The ground. especially if ss all clayey, should not be vet and ssicky; if the tree 0. plant is large and much of the root growth has necessarily been cut oG, . proParsiouate quantity of top growth should be eesersd to restors . just balance, for otherwise the evaporation ot moisture from the topS being greater than can be supplied by the shorteoed and mutilated roots. the plant nuss either lingrr or die outright, even if sbundantiy wstered- It. order to enable the newly planted roots Co draw from the coil the necessary moisture, the coil iaoe- diately about them should be pressed firmly agsinst every fibre end should the seil be dry, It should even bs rammed and pounded, then plentifully watered, and when the water has soaked iD, the top of the excavation should be filled with loose soil. If any msnore is ssed, the best way is to place it on top e . nulch.
