We did not finish the planting until the first of December. The ground froze before the holes were all filled. Water settled in the holes and froze also. This was followed by a severe winter and they were sub- jected to a succession of freezings and thawings, heavy snows and other species of neglect. The trees were not even trimmed or straightened up; in fact, not a thing was done to them after they were planted. In spite of all this, 85 per cent of them are living today and doing finely. It would be my opinion, based upon my experience as a nurseryman, that less than 50 per cent of these trees would have lived had they been planted in any other way than that which we adopted. As a result of this severe test and the success of the experiment, I am now a firm believer in the dynamite method of tree planting.
