HOW TO PLANT 



\^Tien weather conditions are right all stock 

 should be planted immediately upon arrival. 

 but if not convenient to do so. open the bun- 

 dle or box. take the trees out and heel the 

 roots of them in the groimd covering them 

 thoroughly with earth. This covering will 

 keep the roots from dr\-ing out and will keep 

 them in first class condition until you are 

 ready to plant. 



Sometimes trees and shrubs will arrive in 

 a shriveled condition, in this case it is ad- 

 visable to soak the roots of these trees and 

 shrubs in water for about twenty-four hours 

 just before planting. This will cause the 

 trees to regain their full strength and will 

 result in a much better gro\\th the first year. 

 This treatment is also advisable on stock 

 that is planted during late spring. 



In planting it is ad\isable to dig the holes 

 about twice the siz€ necessary to take in all 

 the roots of the tree. In digging thi'ow the 

 top soil to one side and use for filling around 

 the roots. Do not use any of the sub -soil in 

 filling up the holes. After planting tread the 

 earth hard and this x^-ill make the soil come 

 in direct contact with the roots. Plant the 

 trees three to four inches deeper than they 

 stood in the nursery. After planting it is 

 advisable to use about one bucket of water 

 to each tree.
