HINTS FOR PLANTING. 
To properly plant a tree or shrub is an easy matter if one will carefully 
follow these four rules: 
FIRST. — Dig the hole large enough to admit the roots being spread out in 
their natural position, and deep enough to let the plant stand at the same depth 
it stood in the nursery. More trees are lost by deep planting than shallow. 
SECOND. — Use no fertilizers or manure around the roots, but sprinkle fine 
soil among them, shaking the tree a little if necessary, or using the hand, if the 
fibrous roots are very numerous, so that every root may come in contact with the 
soil. 
THIRD.— When the roots are well covered, the earth should be tramped 
firmly. Put in more earth and tramp again. The last two or three inches of 
earth should be left loose for the rain to be taken in. Do not round up the 
earth about the tree, lest the water run off. If the weather is dry early in fall 
or late in the spring, water may be poured in about the tree; otherwise it is 
seldom necessary. 
FOURTH. — Give the tree a good mulching to hold the moisture. Evergreens 
should always have a good supply of water lo ensure a healthy growth.
