Transplanting Directions 



In presenting these instructions to our patrons, we should earnestly request that 

 they give the most careful attention to the details. We having fulfilled our part by fur- 

 nishing first class stock in good condition, also giving necessary instructions how to 

 plant and care for it, if any of our customers should lose a part of their stock, the fault 

 cannot be on our side. We allude to this because years of experience have taugnt us 

 that the public lose nursery stock because they neglect it. We guarantee to supply first 

 class stock in good condition, and could we plant and care for it,, would willingly in- 

 sure success with it, ANYTHING THAT HAS TO BE CULTIVATED IN THE EARTH 

 CAN NO MORE LIVE WITHOUT CULTIVATION, THAN CAN A HUMAN BODY LIVE 

 WITHOUT NOURISHMENT. 



THE PROPER SEASON. For transplanting Nursery stock is during the months 

 of late October, November and December in Autumn, and February, March and April 

 in the Spring. 



ON RECEIPT OF TREES. Store in a cool place protected from wind and sun, plant 

 as soon as possible. When stock arrives frozen do not unpack, place same in a room 

 without heat or frost until it thaws out. When trees are received several days or 

 weeks in advance of the date you will be ready to plant, unpack and open the bundles, 

 bed them out until you are ready to plant. When doing this dig a trench deep enough 

 to admit all roots, and cover with mellow earth, extending well up the bodies of the 

 trees. Select spot where no water stands. 



ON RECEIPT OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS. If impossible to set the plants as soon 

 as received immediately remove them from the crates open the bundles of plants and 

 bed them in a V-shaped trench, in soft moist soil, preferably in shade of some kind, 

 when bedding do not cover the buds or crowns. Use plenty of water as soon as 

 bedded, if cared for in this way they will keep in fine condition for two to three weeks. 

 When bedding press the soil firmly to the roots. Mulch with straw after bedded.

NOTICE. — The above sliow the lig-ht and 

 Avi-ong- way to plant trees. Plant and trim 

 according- to Fig-. 2 and you will have no 

 trouble in making- your trees g-roA\-. 



THIS IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. 



Be sure and remove label before trees be- 

 gins to g-row or it will be fatally injured 

 throug-h strangulation. 



The above illustration presents vividly the 

 difference between correct and incorrect 

 planting-. In Fig-. 1 too small a hole hasbeen 

 dug-, and the i-oots have been cro^\•de(^ into it 



in such a way that if the tree lives at all it 

 will be at the cost of a g-reat effort and loss 

 of vitality. 



This is the method which is commonly 

 practiced, and we cannot therefore too strongr- 

 ly warn our customers agrainst it. 



The roots must have plenty of room, and 

 g-reat care should be exercised to have them 

 as nearly as possible in the same position 

 which they occupied in the nursery. 



In Figr. 2 the roots occupy this position, 

 being- carefully nrrang-ed. and the top has
