three feet in diameter and from eighteen to twenty inches deep, 



depending on the nature of the ground. Good soil should be 



placed on the bottom of the holes to the proper height so that 



hen the trees are set they will stand in their natural position. 



The planting of trees is not always done to the best satis- 



; faction, particularly in locating them, and when the trees 



; grow to a large size it is then that the mistake is noticed, and in 



many cases it is too late; therefore it will pay to take advice 



in regard to this arid for large estates, or where a large amount 



of work is to be done, it will save confusion, time and expense 



to have plans made for this particular work. 



It is often found that on new places where planting is most 

 needed, that the grounds have been filled in with all manner of 

 rubbish and stones and if an experienced man had charge of 

 such work these places would have been filled in with suitable 

 material for planting, and in so doing it would have saved time 

 and expense. Large sums of money have been spent unneces- 

 sarily where no architect or landscape gardner has had the work 

 in charge or where no plans have been made, which are very es- 

 sential in order to get results..
