PLANT TREES AT NIGHT.
More Likely to Live Than n Trass-
planted In the Daytime.

It was long since observed that bud
ding trees when transplanted In the
evening and Immediately and copiously
watered were much more likely to
thrive than those that had been moved
in the day, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord But this knowledge did not lead
TO any well defined theory on the sub
feet until the experiments OF NJ. Rene
Rounault. a French expert. proved be
yond n doubt that distinctly beneficial
results could be gained by transplant
ing wholly at night.
Being called upon TO transplant a
large tract toward the end Of May.
1903, NJ. Rounault determined TO work
Mt night and In order TO be sure that
he made no mistake he transplanted d
Holland linden. which had been In his
own nursery for five years, at 10
o'clock at night He carefully watered
the tree, and the branches which bore
buds were freely molstened. The lin
den did not appear to suffer from this
transplanting and continued to grow
normally without showing any signs
OF weakness. Encouraged by this sue
cess, NJ. Rounault performed the work
Of transportation entirely In the night
time. The results were excellent, only
two trees dying, though the choice OF
the species was extremely wide, con
tanning many which do not readily
submit TO the process OF transplanta-
tIon.
With reference to the precautions to
be observed, II should be stated that
trees should not be transplanted while
their buds are too tender and that the
work should be done between 10 o'clock
p. m. and 2 o'clock a. m. II IL desira
Bile that the roots should be covered
with earth which has for several days
been exposed to the effects OF air and
light. This should be settled by copi-
GUS watering, which forces The earth
between the roots, and not by pressure
with the feet. For the first fifteen
days after transplanting the boughs
and leaves OF the trees should be abun-
dainty sprinkled.
