Planting Instructions 
On arrival the trees should be “heeled in” at 
once in a moist, shady place by digging a trench, 
putting the bunches of trees in it in a vertical 
position, then throwing dirt over the roots and 
firmly tamping down with the feet. 
If dry, the roots should be dipped in a puddle 
of mud and water before being heeled in. After 
heeling in, water occasionally. 
The planter must set the trees slightly deeper 
than they originally grew, and set them straight, 
plenty of fine dirt being placed about the roots 
and very firmly tamped down with the feet. The 
roots must not be allowed to become dry, even 
for a few minutes. In planting sod ground the 
sod should be taken off for about a foot square 
around the hole and not used again. 
Ornamental Stock with Ball 
of Earth 
Evergreens. The trees should be set a trifle 
lower than they stood in the nursery. Dig the 
hole a foot larger than the diameter of the ball. 
Place good loamy soil in the bottom, set tree at 
proper height, and fill in with good soil, packing 
firmly by tramping, or settling by filling hole with 
water. 
Burlap may be loosened at the top of ball and 
rolled back or cut off, but need not be entirely 
removed. 
Perennials are best planted with trowel or hand 
spade. Remove badly injured or dried leaves. 
Trim long straggling roots, or bruised or dam¬ 
aged part. Plant so that roots spread out natu¬ 
rally. Plants with crowns should be set just below 
the surface of the ground. 
Display House 
Our screened display-house is conveniently 
located at the roadside so that customers may 
examine stock either by day, or in the evening if 
more convenient, without walking over the 
grounds unless they wish. 
Ample parking space is provided, and balled 
and burlapped samples of the most popular va¬ 
rieties are always on display. 
Landscape Service. Provided your place is 
within a reasonable distance, we will gladly ex¬ 
amine, advise, and make plans for beautifying 
your home, making no charge for this service if 
we carry out the work. Otherwise traveling ex¬ 
penses will be charged.

Peonies 
Peonies may be planted almost any time of the year, but 
are usually planted in the fall, from September to Novem¬ 
ber, and early in the spring before the new growth starts 
too much. 
The roots should be planted so that the buds are about 
two inches below the surface when the ground has settled 
around them. Too deep planting will result in good foliage 
but no blooms.
