White Spruce. Nursery-grown Evergreens transplant as easily as any class of trees. Young trees, or those of moderate or small size, are the most certain and profitable to remove. Thorough culture and mulching are very useful especially in dry seasons- Early spring planting we have found the best, but they can safely be removed in wet seasons quite late, or until the new shoots are started. In planting, tramp the earth firmly (but carefully) on the roots, the importance of this can scarcely be overstated. In transplanting, the roots should never be exposed to the sun and air a single minute. Evergreens are superb for screens or wind-breaks around buildings, orchards and stock corrals. Norway Spruce, White and Scotch Pine, Red Cedar and Arbor Vitae, are all admirable for that purpose. The last two for low screens should be planted 18 inches apart, and clipped twice each year while young, in June and August. For high screens plant two or more rows, 10 to 12 feet apart, 12 feet in the row, each tree opposite the center of the space in the next row. Ever- greens should be allowed to branch out near the ground. Pruning can be done before they start in the spring, and to thicken up Evergreens rapidly, clip off the ends of the young, succulent shoots while thev are soft and tender.
