Successiui Planting and Care 



We have prepared special transplanting and cultural directions on all classes of tree fruits and berries we list 



and will glady mail these to you upon request. Thesee directions are very complete and should be a valuable 



aid to your success with the trees and plants you purchase. We list here just a few specific instructions 

 which you should follow carefully. 



Be sure to remove wire label before tree begins 

 to grow or it will be fatally injured through 

 strangulation. 



CARE OF STOCK ON ARRIVAL 



The bundles should be opened immediately, the roots 

 dipped in water, then heeled in moist ground, so that 

 the mellow earth will come in contact with the roots 

 and thoroughly ijrotect them from the air, having thp 

 earth tramped solid about them. 



GENERAL PLANTING 



The ground should be carefullv prepared by deep 

 plowing and firming down with a disc and harrow. 



The holes for planting must be large enough to re- 

 ceive the roots freely, without cramping or bending 

 them from their natural position. All broken or muti- 

 lated portions of the roots must be cut off so as to 

 leave the ends smooth and sound. All trees should be 

 planted two or three inches deeper than they stood in 

 the nursery row: pack the soil very firmly about the 

 roots by tramping with the feet, being careful not to 

 bark or break the roots. Leave three inches of the 

 surface soil loose to serve as a mulch. If the ground 

 IS very dry apply one or two pails of water before this 

 soil mulch is in place, and after the water has soaked 

 away it can then be placed over the moist soil. Never 

 put manure so as to come in contact with the roots or 

 body of any plant or tree.
