species for months, yet a close exami-
nation of the roots will show incipi-
ent or active growth of the feeding
rootlets for some time previous to the
appearance of any sign of growth in
the tops
Now it naturally follows that if the
food connection between the tree and
the earth is cut off, or imperative,
there can be but little growth until
these connections are reestablished,
and that to reestablish them with the
least shock to the tree, and in the
most natural manner, the tree should
be transplanted quite while previous
to it's natural time for starting top
growth.
On account of the fact that natures
forces are so strongly exerted toward
pushing out a top growth in the
spring, many people, who have seen
trees transplanted when these forces
are SO active, have come to the enron
eous conclusion that the time at
which to transplant is at, or after, the
time when these forces become appar-
ent, as indicated by the swelling
buds; but, if the tree is transplanted
at this time or after new top growth
has started, the tree has, in a sense, to
draw upon it's own reserve forces
the food supply stored up in it's own
system-in order to carry on and
complete this growth. If the tree,
when transplanted, is in a lusty, Wig
orous condition it will often do this
and sustain itself, and develop more
or less growth, BUTT is much the same
as allowing a fat animal to draw upon
it's own supply of fat for sustenance
for a certain length of time instead of
furnishing it food. For, as above
stated, natural healthy vigorous
only when it's feeding rootlets have
been formed and are at work in the
soil. The analogy between animal
and plant life is very strong, but be-
cause either a healthy fat animal, or
vigorous, lusty plant has a reserve
force to drawupon in case of hardship,
or lack of food, it does not follow that
the best way to treat the plant or ami
NAL is to force them to draw unduly
upon these reserve forces.
In the extreme South the late fall
or early winter is by all odus the best
time to transplant. By November or
December nearly all kinds of trees
have become we'll hardened up and
their longest season of dormancy is
| before them. If transplanted at this
time, and the tops we'll cut back to
counterbalance the necessary cutting
that the roots have received, the dan
ger of loss is reduced to a minimum,
and by the time that growth should
commence in the spring, the trees
have become we'll established in their
new positions, and the feeding root
let's have formed and are ready to
carry on their allotted part in ma
lures wonderful plan of growth.
The greatest objection that is gen
orally raised to the early planting,
|
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-12-15

fresh supply of moisture being availa-
BILE through the roots. There can DE
no fresh supply of moisture through
the roots until the new rootlets have
! formed as above indicated.
| But, apart from the increased
amount of cold that the newly plant
ed tree will stand, without protection,
the ease and simplicity of protecting
them during the first winter is now
generally known and practiced. 1t
consists simply of throwing few
shovels of earth, cone shaped, around
the trunk of the tree. If a severe
freeze should come and destroy the
part of the newly set tree above the
mound, the damage to the tree is very
slight, and it simply amounts to
pruning back the tree to the point of
contact with the earth that has been
thrown up, and the difference in size
that the trees would attain at the end
of the first year, will be hardly appar-
emit.
From the very nature of their bust
ness nurserymen have to transplant
and handle trees in large. quantities,
and [ give below few points that l
have found of equal value both in
nursery and orchard planting. The
principles are the same, whether the
trees are being planted by the thou
sands, in the nursery rows, or set out
singly or by the dozen in their Or
chard positions.
l. Transplant early in the season.
4.-o sooner the better after growth
has hardened up in the fall.
g. Trim back the tops severely.
There are but few exceptions to this
rule. Not one tree in ten, of the mill
ions that are annually transplanted,
ever receive a sufficient cutting back
al time of transplanting.
3. Be sure that the earth is COM
pactly packed, in close contact with
every root of the newly planted tree.
The use of water to aid in bringing
about this result is generally advan-
tageous, although every nurseryman
annually transplants thousands Of
trees without it's use. The use of wa
ter is much more necessary with ever
greens than deciduous trees.
4. Bank up citrus and such other
trees as are subject to danger from
cold, with earth, in the manner above
recommended. Peaches, plums, pears,
kalzi and other hardy deciduous trees
do not need banking.
s. Mulching with pine straw, wire
grass or any coarse litter, although
not always necessary, is beneficial in
helping to conserve the moisture, and
in keeping the service Of the ground
around the tree in a friable condition.
When all danger of severe frosts is
over the earth should be leveled down
around any trees that have been
banked, and all of them literally fer
tilted, with some good amoniated
commercial fertilizer. One pound to
the tree, applied in February OF
March, another pound in April or
May, and third not later than July

w BOYS DROWNED
In Neuse River Saturday Sons
of Mr.. w. Z. BIackman
of Grantham Township.
Both Bodies Found.

Dear Augusta great sorrow
bus befallen our quiet community.
On Saturday, while our friend and
neighbor, William E. Blackman
was gone to Goldsboro, two OF
his boys, (Sem and Willie) aged
II and Is years, went down to
the river to battle, and were
crowned. They left home about
IL o'clock and not returning at
noon their mother sent to hunt
them and found their clothes on
the river bank, which told the
sorrowfui tale.
A searching party were soon
dragging the river and found one
of them just before sunset. A
dark thunder cloud arose and
stopped the hunt. Next morning
on our arrival at the river the
other little boy was found floating
about so yards below,
The sympathy of the whole
community go out to this be-
reaved family, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that these two little
boys went to the river without the
consent or knowledge of their par
ents, it was the first time they
were eyer truant or disobedieat.
A FRIEND.

THE EVENT OF THE SEASON
What it is, When it VIII Take
Place and Who will Patronize

1t does not happen often, in
fact it is an event that occurs only
once a year, and the date fixed for
it to take place this year is next
Tuesday, the 18th instant. The
regular readers of this paper
know without further explains
ton what the event is that is to
take place on that day, as ii has
already been advertised conspicu-
ously in these columns, but for
the benefit of the large number of
new subscribers that are added to
our list every week, and who will
probably read the paper this week
for the first time, we will state
that it is the excursion of Mr.. r.
E. Pipkin to Ashevilie. On ac>
count of the pleasures in store
and the sights to be seen, the oc-
currence has occupied ii promi-
nent position in the minds of a
large per cent. OF the pleasure
seekers in the Eastern part of the
State, and extensive preparations
have been made by whole families
and their -frieuds with "a view to
making the trip.
1t is not economy to deprive
yourself of the opportunity to
make the trip when it can be done
for the small sum of 81. so You
need the rest and recreation that
such an absence from the daily
toll and drudgery of domestic du-
ties and business applications will
bring.
There are plenty of excursions
advertised---in fact, they I al
most as numerous as the daily
passenger trains lind they will
receive a splendid patronage, but
they do not in any sense compete
with this trip to the Gland of the
Sky" where the wonderful freaks
of nature are abundant on every
hand.
1t is no Idle conjecture to say
that the trip this year will be the
most numerously attended OF any
similar event that has occurred
in the history Of excursions from
this city Low rates are adver~
tised from all pOints on the A. &
N. G. r. f. between NewberD
and this city and u special train
will leave Newbern that morning
and arrive here before the big
excursion leaves. A rate OF one
fare is advertised over the W.
d ". Railroad, and the whole
Eastern section of the State is
going to be represented.
