Experience has demonstrated, beyond a doubt, that our prairies are as eminently adapted to the growth of Evergreens as it is to the growth of corn. We root-prune and transplant our Evergreens as often as every other year ; this gives them an immense number of small roots, and makes their transplanting as certain of growth as that of an apple or soft maple. Our two feet plants are root-pruned or transplanted at least four times ; four feet, six to eight times. Each transplanting or root-pruning doubles the value of an Evergreen for resetting. In our remarks on wind-breaks we speak of the great value of Evergreens for that purpose, and for ornamental hedge. As an ornament the}' are unsurpassed ; for a pro- tection against severe, driving winter winds, they have no equal.
