transplantcd tree two or three feet
high will soon Ovcrtake and surpass a
much larger one. and grow into a more
vigorous and beautiful specimen. A
vast amount Of money and a great deal
of time is wasted every year in trying
to transplant large trees. 1t is not es-

Two men are required to plant tree.
The hole should be twice the width
Of the mass of roots. and the bottom
should be worked fine with spade.
Ole man should then hold the tree

how light the cross is that we have to

The Agent of a Lyons SILK House Assigns
His Assets Large.
New YORK. January 9.-W. Fl. De. For
est, wholesale dealer in silks, assigned to-
day to George A. Sheldon, giving prefer
ences of more than 100000. De Forest
was agent in this country for the silk man
ufacturing house of A. Guinet & Co., of Ly-
ons. France. He was considered very
shrewd merchant and was thought to have
made large amount of money in real es-
tate. He owned the old Alexander Hamil-
ton property in the upper part OF the city,
on the west side, which he subdivided and
made large sales from. In his statement
to Bradstreet in May last he estimated his
equity in this property under date OF April
5 at 81 ,O26, 900 over and above a mort
gage of $27O,OeO. Healso estimated other
real estate equities at $3.50, 900, making
a total of $1,376,OOO; liabilities
on Endorsements. $4,000; on his busi-
ness, $40, 200; net worth. 1894, 900. Since
he made this statement his real estate was
supposed to have improved, as he has sold
a portion of it, receiving $3.50, 900 for one
block. lie Forest was also engaged in ex-
tensive building operations on his property.
Through builders he indorsed largely and
it is said that many OF the notes are about
to fall due, and he was unable to raise
money to meet them. What the liabilities
were is matter OF conjecture at present.
He has been winding up his silk business for
some time past and expected to 60 out OF it
