PRUNING AND flANTING.

The critical period In the life OF
plant is when II Is transplanted from
the nursery to its permanent location.
In moving trees from the nursery
portion Of the root area is lost, and
the top should be reduced In proper
tlon to the loss of root area, in order
that the newly transplanted and unes-
tabllshed plant may be able TO secure
sufficient moisture and food to supply
the demands OF the top. The roots
should also be pruned, so as to pro-
te"t them against decay, by cutting
away all broken and mutilated parts,
leaving the cut surface smooth and
In such position that they will come in
contact with the fresh earth. After
the pant becomts established certain
branches will grow more rapidly than
others and the appearance of the plant
will be spoiled By this unequal growth.
Pruning should, therefore, be resorts
eG to In order II preserve symmetrl-
cal development CT the plant without
rendering II artificial or formal In APP
pearance. Care should also be exer-
oised during the early development of
plant TO maintain a uniform distri-
button of branches around the central
axis, II II be q tree, so as to insure a
symmetrical and pleasing form at ma
turity.
At planting time the excavation pre-
pared for the reception of the tree
should be OF sufficient depth to allow
II to be set as deep as 1t stood In tho
nursery and large enough to accommo-
date the roots without bending them,
while the earth In the bottom Of tho
hole should be loosened at least one
spade length below the general floor
OF the hole, In replacing the soil over
the roots Of the plant a thin layer 90
earth should be placed Immediately In
contact with the roots and thoroughly
pressed down by tramplng I'm order to
bring the particals OF soil In close
contact with the feeding roots OF the
plant, The hole should then be filled
and the surface left slightly above the
general surface OF the surrounding
ground.-U, $. Department OF Agrl-
