GUARANTEE—The Hallawell Seed Company will exercise care to have all stock true to name; nevertheless, it is 
understood and agreed that should any stock prove untrue to name, the Hallawell Seed Company shall be liable only for

Planting and Pruning—Planting can be done from December to March. Always dig large holes for the roots and 
should the ground be at all heavy or sandy, add some old well-rotted manure. After the tree is set in the hole, work the 
soil in around the roots and firm with the foot as the hole is filled, leaving the last spadeful or two untrodden. Do not 
plant when the ground is too wet. Deciduous fruit trees should be pruned back severely after planting, usually 2]/ 2 or 3 
feet from the ground, leaving a few side branches where necessary, which are cut back to a few inches from the main 
stem. When the trees have been planted one year, cut back half the preceding summer’s growth. Frequent cultivating is 
necessary.
