Successful Planting and Care 



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

 gladly mail thesfe to you upon request. These 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 strangula- 

 tion. 



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 thor- 

 oughly protect them from the air, having the earth tramped 

 solid around them. 



GENERAL PLANTING 



The ground should be carefully prepared by deep plowing 

 and firming down with a disc and harrow. 



The holes for planting must be large enough to receive the 

 roots freely, without cramping or bending them from their 

 natural position. All broken or mutilated 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 deep- 

 er than they stood in the nursery row; pack the soil very 

 firmly about the roots by tramping: with the feet, being care- 

 ful not to bark or break the roots. Leave three inches of the 

 surface loose to serve as mulch. If the ground is very dry 

 apply one or two pails of water before the 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.
