P. suggestion to you, as a result of ey perience in this matter, is that you surround the trunk of the Elm with stones about 6" to n diameter, for a width of three or more feet, and put your soil on and over the stones. Cover them with 1 ft. of scil at the top. This will gradually wash down, but will permit the old roots to breathe until new roots can devel- op near the surface. Put loose open soil over the whole space covered by the branches, -ie of the stem- roots,—not close compact clay.
