HOW TO PLANT A TREE 
Very carefully protect the 
roots from sun and air. Plant 
in holes dug much larger than 
the spread of the roots so that 
the latter can be carefully 
placed in their natural direc¬ 
tions; tap roots of oak trees 
should extend straight down. 
Fill the hole with good, rich 
soil. 
The tree should stand two 
inches deeper than it did in 
the nursery. Work the soil 
firmly under and about the 
roots. W’hen the hole is two- 
thirds filled, water thoroughly 
to set soil about roots and 
furnish moisture to the tree in 
abundance. Complete the 
filling of the hole, then mulch 
with strawy manure spread 
three inches deep over the whole area. 
Before setting trim the branches of small trees by 
removing three-fourths of last year’s growth; on 
heavily branched trees cut out a few small branches 
at their base to reduce demands on the disturbed 
roots. Oak trees should never have the central 
leader cut, but otherwise should be severely pruned.
