Planting Information 
Plan for cover-crop and cultivation of young orchard 
at time of planting in January, it should receive a 
pound in March, anotlier in Juno, and another in 
Septcml)er. In its second year, it siiould be fertilized 
in February, April. June and Soptcniber, giving about 
line pound and a half at each application. After 
the second year, there should be a gradual increase 
as the trees become older; those who .secure l>est 
results fertilize liberally. 
In fertilizing young trees, the fertilizer .should Ixi 
scattered in a band 2 feet wide, beginning back 
6 inches from the trunk. As they become ohler. the 
fertilizer should be spread out toward the ends of 
the branches, and in t)ld orchards or groves it .should 
be broadcasted over the whole surface as the roots 
make their way into all jiarts of the soil. After 
applying fertilizer the ground should be cultivated. 
INSECTS AND DISEASES 
These must be watched for and guarded again.st. 
Dead branches .should be removed from the tops of 
trees and burned. They often contain spores of 
diseases or have l)econie the breeding-places of 
noxious insects. In .some localities many insects may 
be controlled effectively through the agency of 
friendly fungi; in others it is necessary to spray 
as well. In a general way it will be found that bor- 
doaux mixture is effective against fungi, lime-sul- 
I)hur wash as a winter spray again.st scale insects 
and fungi on deciduous trees, rust mite, puri)le mite 
and red spider on citrus; arsenate of lead against 
biting or chewing insects, and whale-oil soap or 
miscible oil against sucking insects such as white Hy
