NURSERY DEPARTMENT 



Before planting- fruit trees, the soil (excepting- new g-round) shouia be made mello-57 by repeated plowino-. -When trees 

 are received the root should be covered -with a blanket, sack or stra-sv 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, stra-w should be spread on the g-round, the trees laid upon it, then covered entirely, roots and tops, -with stra-w, 

 and the -whole well watered. In this condition they should remain for forty-eig-ht 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 oug-ht to be at least four feet wide and eig-hteen 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. '
