The accompanying figure (109) shows the mode in which the stake is driven into the bottom of the hole before filling in. Transj>lanting trees on the surface.—On the last page the ad- vantages are pointed out of sometimes setting trees on the sur- face of the soil. This mode of transplanting is undoubted- ly the best on all heavy soils that cannot be thoroughly drained. The annexed figure (no) exhibits distinctly this mode of planting, the dotted line indicating the common surface of the earth, on which the tree is set, and the low mound raised upon the roots.

This method is not adapted to large commercial orchards, but for home Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Thomas, J.
