of three or more guys on trees recently transplanted to hold themfirmly in place until an adequate root system has been established,and to prevent swaying of the trees and loosening of root system. Land, mostly in the southern part of Florida, covered with luxuriantgrowth of trees (hardwoods, or cabbage palms and palmettos). Thesoil is rich in fertilizer value. To so care for plants previously grown in a greenhouse that they willbe able to withstand normal outdoor exposures. It is customary tomove such plants from the greenhouse to cold frames. The partial lifting of plants out of the soil by frost action. This isapt to occur when ground previously deeply frozen and thawed outon top is again frozen. The layer of frozen soil beneath, which hasnot yet thawed out, forms an unyielding barrier and the expansionof the soil in freezing is then wholly upward. The stresses thus causedare enormous and plants are lifted sometimes almost wholly out ofthe ground. |
