PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
All nursery stock needs careful handling. It 
must not be unnecessarily exposed to sun or drying 
winds before being planted. Keep the roots covered 
at all times with damp burlap sacks or something simi¬ 
lar. After being planted the stock will need food 
and water. 
Cut off broken or bruised roots just above the 
place of injury. Shorten any roots that are over- 
long with a sharp knife or pruning shears. 
Dig the hole large enough to receive the plant 
without bending the roots. Throw good top soil on one 
side of hole and poor soil on opposite side. Then 
break up subsoil in bottom of hole and mix with it a 
little top soil and some well-rotted manure or a com¬ 
mercial plant food. 
Set your plant, then fill the hole to within a 
few inches of the top, tramping the soil as it is 
thrown in. Leave a pocket or basin around the plant 
to catch water, and let the last two or three inches 
of oovering be loose soil or a mulch to conserve the 
moisture. Water frequently until plant is established. 
We have prepared a little booklet, "How to Plant", 
copiously illustrated with numerous diagrams and 
specific details for the proper planting of trees, 
shrubs, evergreens, perennials, and bulbs; also, the 
proper methods for shearing hedges, and similar prac¬ 
tical information of interest and value to the small' 
home-owner and amateur gardener. This little booklet 
may be had without charge for your asking. Call at 
any one of our sales places, or telephone JEfferson 
1375.
