Group C includes plants divided into two sub-groups, a thosewhich transplant with difficulty and should rarely if ever be trans-planted, but grown in their permanent location from seed, cuttings,or very small seedlings, and b those which after being transplantedrecover very slowly. All of the plants in the first group are the ex-tremely slow-growing types, such as the walnut, the butternut, theironwood, and the sweet fern. Those typical of the second groups are the Japanese snowball, the rose of Sharon, boxwood, nursery-grownbeech trees, and sweet gum. The author does not intend to convey theimpression that any of the plants in either of these groups, especiallythe first group, cannot be transplanted with success by those who arein a position to know the plants intimately, and to take thorough cautions against any possible injury through transplanting. For theperson who is not an expert plantsman and who does not thoroughunderstand all of the conditions necessary for the successful planting of the extremely slow-growing types of trees and shrubs theplants in the first group should be avoided, and extreme care shouldgiven to the work of transplanting any of the trees or shrubs includingin the second group. |
