difference ce we think are the egil egli growth of wood V y oo 00 d to a late date prolonging 0 the shedding of leaves and a nd the often sudden setting in of severe weather trees undisturbed are but litt little leif if any affected by these sudden changed changes while those transplanted are unable to abide the shock aad had we frosts in september severe enough to cause trees to stop growing and cast their foliage followed by a long lorig warm indian summer as in like latitude in the states then transplanting in the fall might be more successful blackberries raspberries rasp berries and aud
