HINTS FOR PLANTING 
The rules for successful planting are few and simple, but they should be carefully 
followed. 
Wherever possible the ground should first be dug and, if necessary, enriched. This 
digging should extend 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 and 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 sway- 
ing by wind bemg 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 durmg the planting operation.
