NURSERY DEPARTMENT 



Before planting- fruit trees, the soil (excepting' new g'roiind) should he made mellow hy repeated plowing-. When trees 

 are received the root should be covered with a blanket, sack or straw until they reach their destination; the bundle should 

 then be opened, and the trees separated from the moss in which they are packed; if the roots have become dry, from too long 

 exposure, straw should be spread on the ground, the trees laid upon it, then covered entirely, roots and tops, with straw, 

 and the whole well watered. In this condition they should remain for forty-eight hours, when they will be found as fresh 

 as when first found in the nursery. Where only a few trees are to be planted, and the soil has not been sub-soiled, or where 

 trees are to be planted in sod, then the holes ought to be at least four feet wide and eighteen to twenty inches deep, the 

 sub-soil thrown back, and the holes filled up to a proper depth to receive the tree with fine top soil.
