TRANSPLANTING TREES.--A correspondent in Ohio asks us whether he can transplant trees in the winter months, when he usually has more leisure than at any other season of the year. Certainly he can. There is nothing to hinder except the frost. Trees set out in unfrozen ground in December, January, and February will, if carefully done, be about as sure to grow as in November or March. As to evergreens, which he farther inquires about, there is no difficulty as to their growing if properly transplanted. Our own loss has been less with them than any other tree. They should, however, be firmly staked to keep them in their places during the high winds of March and April.--Germantown Telegraph.
