PLANTING 
SUGGESTIONS 
The top soil is not so important for 
fruit trees as a deep subsoil that will 
permit a full root development. If you 
cannot plant when you receive the stock 
prevent drying out by keeping wet bur¬ 
lap sacks around roots. For longer stor¬ 
age heel the trees in. Plant an inch or 
two deeper than nursery planting. Dig 
holes plenty large. Sprinkle fine soil 
around roots and tramp the soil firmly. 
This is most important. 
Keep top soil cultivated and manured 
like a good garden soil.

ous well rooted character of our fruit
