HOW TO PLANT 
Trees and plants should always be set out as soon as re¬ 
ceived. If unable to do so, remove packing material and heel 
in the ground, covering thoroughly with moist soil. 
When planting, make a rather large hole, fill up with good 
top-soil so as to set the tree the same depth it stood in the 
nursery. Only mellow top-soil should be used among the roots; 
it should be packed firmly, having the roots in their natural 
position, which must not be damaged or bruised. 
Trees must be trimmed and watered at planting. Manure 
or other fertilizer should not be used while planting, perhaps 
laU r. Trees are best protected against depredations by rabbits, 
etc., when the trunks are whitewashed with a solution of lime 
and blood in the Spring and Fall. Crushed glass scattered in 
the ground among the roots protects the trees against gophers. Three Year 01( , Arizona Cypress
