  and

  directions 
  on

  of

  we 
  list 
  

   and 
  will 
  gladly 
  mail 
  these 
  to 
  you 
  upon 
  request. 
  These 
  directions 
  are

  aid 
  to 
  your 
  success 
  with 
  the 
  trees 
  and 
  plants 
  you 
  purchase 
  

   which 
  you 
  should 
  follow 
  carefully. 
  

  

  Be 
  sure 
  to 
  remove 
  wire

  before 
  tree 
  begins 
  

   to 
  grow 
  or 
  it

  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 
  protect 
  them 
  from 
  the 
  air, 
  having 
  the 
  

   earth 
  tramped 
  solid 
  about 
  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 
  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 
  

   so.ilced 
  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.
