Box for transporting large transplanted stock. porting large growing stock to the exposition, tiie stock having been dug from the open and the box secured around the ball of earth. When to transplant. In general, it is best to set hardy plants in the fall, particu- larly if the ground is fairly dry and the exposure is not too bleak. To this class belong most of the fruit trees and ornamental trees and shrubs; also hardy herbs, as columbines, peonies, lilies, bleeding-hearts, and the like. They should be planted as soon as they are thoroughly mature, so that the leaves begin to fall naturally. If any leaves remain on the tree or bush at planting time, strip them off, unless the plant is an evergreen. It is generally best not to cut back fall-planted trees to the full extent desired, but to shorten them three-fourths of the re- quired amount in the fall, and take off the remaining fourth in.
