Christmas Tree In City Park.

To transplant a Christmas tree from a near-by forest to the courthouse square or the city park is the latest Idea In community Christmas plans for Badger cities and towns, according to Miss Emma Conley of the University of Wisconsin extension division. Such tree-planting aids in the conservation of trees as w4ll as in the. forming of associations and customs connected with a permanent Yuletlde tree. Norway, white, and qther varieties of spruce and balsam are among the best trees to transplant, Mias Conley says, and a good time to make the change is while the ground is frozen and the sap in the tree Is not running. A 20-foot tree is about proper size to transplant. The cost of transplanting such a tree is not great and the undertaking may be conducted by women’s, dubs, parent-teachers’ organizations, suffrage leagues, chambers of commerce and civic Improvement societies.
