CALIFORNIA NURSERY CO., INC., OLDEST AND LARGEST 
Hints on Transplanting 
The many excellent treatises on Fruit Culture which have appeared within the past few years — one or more 
of which should be in the hands of every person intending to plant — render it almost unnecessary to give any direc- 
tions in that line; yet we are so frequently asked for advice in this way that we offer a few general remarks. 
The situation of the orchard having been decided on, the ground should be deeply plowed, subsoiled and thor- 
oughly pulverized. The holes should be dug at least a foot larger in every direction than actually required by the 
roots when spread out in their natural position. In planting, the top soil should be broken down into the hole, and 
worked carefully in between every root and 5ber, filling up every crevice, that every root may be in contact with 
the soil, and the whole made quite firm as the filling up progresses. The tree^ when planted, may in light soils stand 
from two to three inches deeper than it stood in the nursery; but in heavy clay or wet Kfound It is advisable to 
have it stand at the same height as it was before transplanting. 
It is very important to whitewash the bodies of all fruit trees, and in addition to this, to protect Ihtm with tree 
protectors. This prevents both the attack of insects and sunburn.

Rule— Square Method— Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the 
rows, and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number of feet 
in an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants or trees to the acre. 
Rule— Equilateral Triangle Method— Divide the number required to the acre "square method" by the decimal . BOS. 
The. result will be the number of plants required to the acre by this method.
