HINTS FOR PLANTING 
The rules for successful planting ar/s few and simple, but they should be 
carefully followed. 
Wherever possible the ground should first be dug and, if necessary, en- 
riched. This digging should e-xtend over a larger space than is required to 
merely plant the trees. A hole should be made large enough and sufficiently 
deep to allow all the roots to be spread out in their natural position. The 
plant should be set about the same depth as it stood in the nursery. 
Fine soil free from manure should be worked in around the roots an.d when 
these are well covered the earth must be well tamped, leaving an inch or two 
on the surface loose for the taking in and conserving of moisture. Firm 
planting is a prime necessity. 
Trees with any weight of head should be firmly staked for a year at least, 
the swaying by wind being fatal to the starting of young fibrous roots. 
Water if necessary, and in very exposed positions a slight mulch for a 
short time is a help. On no account allow the roots to dry out during the 
planting operation.
