Directions for Planting and Care of Trees and Shrubs. 



STAKING. — After the land has been well plowed, harrowed and leveled, a 3 or 4 foot 

 stake should be set where each tree is to stand. 



PLANTING DISTANCES. — The distance apart at which the trees should be set 

 depends upon the character of the soil, the moisture it contains, the kind of trees and 

 the ideas of the planter. Usually they should be given a goodly distance. A table of 

 usual planting is given. 



CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL. — When the trees arrive, if everything is in readi- 

 ness, they may be taken directly to the field and set out. If the number is large, or 

 there is any delay, it is best to open up the boxes or bales and heel-in the trees. This 

 is done by digging a trench deep enough to accommodate the roots nicely, straight down 

 on one side, sloping out to the ground-level on the other. In this trench place the roots, 

 tops in slanting position, cover with earth, packing well among the roots, use some water,, 

 and cover the tops with packing material, straw or grass, to shade them. From this 

 heeling-in place they may be taken out as needed for planting, and carefully protected 

 from the sun with damp burlap until placed in the holes.
