6. Protect young trees against damage by animals if necessary. 
A short piece of wire fencing set in the ground will usually suffice. 
HOW TO PLANT First, examine your shipment on arrival and before accepting it be sure the 
AND CARE FOR express agent, freight or truck office is informed of any damage in shipment. 
EVERGREENS 2. Prepare your planting ground before the trees arrive. Dig up a space three 
to four feet in diameter for each tree and pulverize the earth thoroughly. If the soil 
is poor it is best to excavate it and fill in with good growing soil. Otherwise provide ample fertilization 
early enough before planting to insure a fertile soil. 
3. Plant your trees as soon as received. Plant deeply, from two to six inches lower than the tree grew 
in the nursery. Work roots out into the earth as well spread as possible, being very sure to pack the earth 
firmly and to bury every root. Thoroughly soak the ground either before or after setting the tree in place— 
preferably both. When first planted trim all limbs except the terminal bud tip limb one-fourth to one-third. 
4. When planting balled and burlapped evergreens excavate a 
hole twice the size of the tree ball and set tree without disturbing 
the burlap so that it will be two to six inches deeper than it grew 
in the nursery. Replace several inches of earth. Then open burlap 
wrapping and throw it back from the top of the root ball without 
breaking or disturbing the earth about the roots. Then fill, tamp 
thoroughly, and water well. The burlap will quickly rot out and a 
good quick start for your tree is favored. 
5. Cultivate thoroughly and frequently throughout the year ex¬ 
cept in winter for three years. Water heavily every other day during 
the first two years after planting unless there is abundant rainfall. 
Each fall mulch the cultivated ground around the tree thoroughly 
with well rotted straw or old sawdust. 
Evergreens are shipped only from Martinsville, Indiana, and all prices 
on these pages are f. o. b. Martinsville. Shipments made only April I 
to May 15 and September I to November I. Canadian shipments will 
require the permits for plants described on page 2. 
In descriptions of Evergreens the symbol X denotes that the tree has 
been transplanted in the nursery as many times as the X occurs. Each 
transplanting thickens the root system and improves the adaptability 
of the tree to further transplanting. 
The symbol "B & B" indicates that the tree is shipped with a ball of 
earth about the roots bound in burlap wrapping—called "balled and 
burlapped."
