More Likely to Live Tran if Trans planted in the Daytime. Philadelphia Record. It was long since observed that budding trees, when trainsplainted in the evening, and immediately and copiously watered, were much more likely to thrive than those that had been moved in the'- day. But this knowledge did not lead to any well defined theory on the subject until the experiments of M. Rene Roun nit, a French expert, proved beyond a doubt that distinctly beneficial re suIts could be gained by transplant ing wholly at night. Being called upon to transplant a large tract toward the end of May. 1903. M. Rounault determined to work at night, and in order to be sure that he made no mistake he transplanted a Holland linden, which had been in his own nursery for five years, at 1o o'clock at night. Hie carefully watered the tree, and the branches wvhich bore buds were freely moistened. The linden did not ap pear to suiffer from this transplanting and continued to grow normally. without showing any signs of weak ness. Encouraged by this success, M. Rounault performed the work of transplanting entirely in the night time. The resulhs were excellent, on ly two trees dying, though the choice of the species was extremely wide. ctuainiing many which do not readily With reference to the precautions to be observed, it should be stated Ithat trie es shitn!d not be~ t ransplan;ted while thirn buds are too tender. and that the wo. rk 5nhould be dlone he tw\ec:n to t elick p. m ..:and .2 'cl'ck It . - -:-able tht the n h b he e red withl earth wvhich r(.
