Mr. Jones: We cut the tap-roots off, but leave an inch of the lateral roots.
The Chairman: I think you can do better by following the Stringfellow method and cutting off all the laterals.
Prof. Smith: If you were going to transplant those for your own use where would you cut them off?
Mr. Jones: About here, a foot and a half down.
The Secretary: And the top?
Mr. Jones: Yes, sir, I'd reduce the top about that much; I think we will have to work for a better root for the North.
