PLANTING AND CARE 
APPLE TREES 
Have the hole for each tree dug plenty large, so 
that you can fill in good top soil all around and on 
the bottom of the root. 
Plant so deep that the tree stands about 2 or 3 
inches deeper than before in the nursery row. 
It is wrong to bank up soil around the tree. We 
advise you to have the surface level or a little lower 
right around the tree. This will allow water to get 
to the roots. 
Root-pruning. At planting time the ends of all roots 
should be cut smooth with knife: no not neglect this. 
Write us at any time of the year whenever you wish 
to have advise concerning care of your trees. We are 
always gladly at your service. For the benefit of our 
customers we maintain a true and dependable in¬ 
formation-service.
