Book Description
Excerpt from Greensboro Nurseries, 1928: Fruits and Ornamentals, Landscape Service It is in the highest degree important that every cultivator of trees should understand the art of transplanting, as upon this operation depends in a great measure their feebleness or vigor afterwards, their sluggish or thrifty growth, and indeed, vitality itself. We give a few important instructions that, if strictly followed, will insure to the purchaser of healthy stock the desired result of his investment. Size of Trees - Select thrifty young trees, rather than old or very large ones; the former bear transplanting better, can be more easily trained to any desired shape, and eventually become more valuable. When trees arrive at their destination, they should be unpacked as soon as possible, and roots placed immediately in a trench, and covered somewhat deeply with mellow earth, from whence they may be taken, a few at a time, as wanted for planting. While trees are out OF the ground the roots must BE protected from sun and air. The Soil - Let the soil be well drained if not naturally so, as no satisfactory results can.be expected where the surplus water cannot readily escape; then put it in a condition good enough for a crop of wheat or corn by repeated plowing and the application of manure as may be needful. Time for Planting - We are very much favored by the weather conditions throughout the South and Piedmont sections, as we can plant from November lst to April lst, whenever weather conditions are favorable. In our own orchards our planting is largely done during the early Spring months. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
