Peach and some other young- trees, if left standing during their first winter, are frequently killed or injured by frost. While, if dug in the fall and treated as below described, they come throug^h bright and uninjured. To insure success, select a spot where no water will stand during the winter, having no grass near to invite mice. Dig a trench deep enough to admit one layer of roots, and sloping enough to permit the trees to lie at an angle of not more than 30 degrees with the ground. Having placed one layer of the roots in this trench, cover them with mellow earth, extend- ing well up on the bodies, and see that this is firmly packed. Then add another layer of trees overlapping the first until all are heeled in. As soon as this is done, cover the tops so well with e\'ergreen boughs or corn stalks that they will be thoroug^hly protected from winds.
