_^ HOW TO PLANT TREES. 



" Although there are numerous books and papers published on arboriculture, giving neces- 

 sary information how to plant trees yet we are so often asked by some of our customers how 

 to plow and prepare the soil for fruit trees ; we therefore deem it necessary to give here some 

 short instructions : 



Make the ground thoroughly mellow, at least 15 inches deep and 3 or 4 feet wide each 

 way if holes are to be dug, thorough plowing of the entire plat is preferable if it can be done. 

 Prune the trees close; straisrhten out the roots evenly having the tree standing the same depth 



Steckler's French Market Lettuce is the Best.
