This is done by digging a trench around the tree, laj;ejnj;he_autumn, deep enough to cut most of the roots, but far enough away from the tree to leave a large ball of earth. The trench is then filled in with a mulch of some kind, and when the ground is frozen the tree is moved, with the ball of earth at- tached, to the hole which has been previously prepared and_ kept free from frost. After Trees Have Been Moved, or had their roots short- ened in some other way, they should general}}' not be transplanted__again for at least one or twoyears, during which time they will have overcome the injuries done to their root system. The time which should thus elapse.
