Set Out Trees in tho Spring.

Spring is a better time to set trees
than fall, because, at that season, trees
are beginning to grow, and will, there
fore. be in condition to respond more
readily to treatment, while in fall they
are unlikely to establish themselves
before cold weather sets in. Preserve
the roots to the fullest possible ex-
tent, and do not disturb the tree until
after it has ripened and has shed its
foliage. If the roots are cut away, as
they almost invariably are in spring
planting, be sure to cut back the top
proportionately. -Eben E. Rexford in
