PLANTING OF FRUIT TREES 
It is a wise thing to choose land that is well-drained because no fruit trees can thrive in a damp, sog- 
gy soil Plums and quinces will stand a greater amount of dampness than other fruits, but they are bet¬ 
ter it they do not have to contend with unfavorable drainage. The best-drained soil is that whose natural 
elevation conduces to the rapid elimination of surplus water. A gently sloping hillside, free from hol¬ 
lows or swales where late frosts may linger, affords the best site. Peaches ought to get the highest loca¬ 
tions, because there is less danger from late spring frosts on high ground than on low.

... Hav ® th ® holes du 8 ‘ n the proper places for the trees, large enough to receive the roots comfortably 
without bending or twisting them. It is well to stake out the orchard in advance to be sure that the holes 
get dug m the right places. 
When the trees arrive from the nursery, open the package and plant them immediately if it is pos¬ 
sible. Be very careful to keep the roots covered to prevent their drying out. In planting, set the trees 
upright near the center of the holes, spread out the roots evenly, and work fine earth in among them, 
making sure that they are packed in close contact with the soil. If small air-pockets remain about the 
roots they will extract moisture from them, so injuring them that the trees may die. 
•j If im Possible to plant the trees immediately, heel them in. To do this, dig a trench, shovel¬ 
wide and deep, and long enough to hold the roots when they are placed side by side. Sift fine earth over 
them, and when the trench is half full, soak them with water and pile on the remainder of the earth. In 
this temporary planting the trees will keep in good condition for a week or two. 
In setting out young trees, place them a little deeper than they grew in the nursery. The earth- 
mark on the base of the stem is the best guide in this.
