Nature is again husbanding all her energy to the task of reclothing trees, shrubs, and flowers in a fresh garb of green. Early spring marks a ^ period of intense activity for the forester, orchardist, gardener, and people in all walks of life who are interested in plants. According to H. Y. Forsythe of Aiken, District Forester with the State Forest Ser vice, the following simple sugges tions may be of practical assist ance to those who are planning on transplanting trees or shrubs. 1. The hole should be dug wider and deeper than the tree requires. —It is the root tips which are the feeders and, especially the small- rootlets. They cannot readily penetrate through a hard wall of soil. The first year is the critical one. 2. Place only rich surface soil about tne roots.—Soil removed from the lower part of the hole is harder and does not contain so much plant food. „ _ . , . 3.

Remove as large a root system as possible with che tree you dig.— The roots should not be ripped or tom from the ground, but removed carefully by digging around them with a* spade or mattock. A trans planted tree needs all its roots for proper anchorage, and the securing of nourishment. 5. Tom or broken roots should be trimmed with a sharp knife.—The damaged ends of roots should be removed with a clean, slanting cut. A ragged wound does not heal readily. 6.
