A writer in the Horticulturist, thinks it is not advisalile to transplant peach trees the first year after budding. This was once my opinión ; but I have found that trees planted in the spring, that had been budded the previous fal!, did better than if left one year Ionger. They are more certain of growth, and transplanting them makes little or no difference in the growth. I transplanted some last spring, in the latter part of April or the beginning of May, ihat have grovvn more than six feet high. I was first led to this practice from a ïiurseryman, to whom I applied for some trees, and I thought it at first, nothing more or less than an excuse to sell me the young trees, as he had no older ones of the sort I vvanted. But I have found by experience that it is the best way, and all that a person has to do is to take care that they have living buds, not what is called by some dormant ones. In a lot that I planted out last spiing, I believe I had but one which missed, though I had 3 or 4 that did not start till late, but they made nearlv '.hree. Springfield, Hamilton Co., Ohio.
