Unless some means have been taken toinduce a formation of roots there is little successfollowing the transplanting of trees over a year ortwo old. The late A. S. Fuller, a good authority on suchmatters, because he spoke from his own ex-perience, contended that by sowing the hickorynuts in sandy soil the seedlings would be fairlyfibrous, while sown in deep soil the opposite wouldbe the result. In nursery sowings good soil is usu-ally sought out for the seed of all kinds, and as aresult the hickories are found with but one rootand it a tap root of some length.
