2lG'2AG FORMATION. 
Set trees one or two inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery, as shown by the collar or 
bark at top of roots. Shrubs should be set at the 
same depth or slightly deeper than in the nursery. 
Spread roots out naturally and work in pulverized 
soil .about the roots, tramping firmly with the feet. 
If soil is dry, water. well before hole is filled with 
soil. Lastly, fill the hole level, but do not mound 
up, as this tends to shed water away from roots and 
holds back growth. Don’t tramp down the top soil, 
but leave loose to prevent baking and cracking.
