POMONA UNITED NURSERIES, DANSVILLE, N. Y. 
SPRING 1922 
Upon Arrival Heel in the Trees Temporarily 
Nursery stock intended for spring planting should be ordered early to insure delivery in 
time for planting. As soon as received by the planter, the trees should be removed from the 
box or bale, bunches cut apart at the bottom and heeled in until ready to plant. Dig a trench 
of sufficient width to hold the roots of a row of trees and deep enough so that when the trench 
is filled the roots will be covered with about two feet of earth. If this work is properly done 
trees may be left for reasonably long periods without injury. To insure prompt service, order 
early. The spring season is a busy time with the nurseryman and he can give better attention 
to the orders received before the rush season begins. 
“The roots of early planted trees throw out their feeders before the buds open. Such trees 
make a heavier growth. They get a stronger hold upon the soil, and are better able to endure 
the hot, dry summers.” — G. B. Brackett U. S. Pomologist, U. S. D. A., Washington, D. C. 
Our Shipping Season 
We pack and ship all winter to Southern States. Our regular Spring packing and shipping 
•season usually opens here about the first of April, and continues into the month of May. The 
planting season is not regulated by any particular month or day, nor by the state of vegetation 
where the planting is to be done, but by the condition of the trees to be planted. Hence, trees 
can be sent with safety from Dansville, N. Y., to localities several degrees south, even if they 
do not arrive until the ordinary transplanting season in that locality is passed. 
What Trees to Plant 
The true standard upon which to purchase is the age. The two-year old tree is usually the 
best for commercial planting although one-year-olds are quite generally used. In ordering 
nursery stock deal direct with the grower rather than through agents. State the kind of trees 
wanted, be willing to pay a fair price for the right kind and varieties. Take good care of them 
upon arrival to assure healthy growth when they are planted. . 
The Fruit Tree is a symbol of home and comfort and good cheer. It is the emblem of good 
works By the woodshed or the pump, or against the barn or over the garden fence, the fruit 
tree connects the residence with the world of life. Every day of the year is in its fabric, and 
every essence of wind and sun and snapping frost is in its blossom and its fruit. 
Prices of Nursery Stock 
It hardly seems necessary to say anything about the prices printed in this catalog, but owing 
to the great scarcity of nursery stock there are so many poor trees, trees not true to name — 
trees with poor root system— trees four, five and six years old, listed as bearing age and affect- 
ed in one way or another, being offered for sale, that we feel compelled to ask our customers 
to consider quality and to remember that we sell nothing but the best one and two year trees 
of the size listed. 
All Trees are strictly first class of the grade offered, well rooted and branched, 
fresh dug, and guaranteed to please.
