INSTRUCTIONS 
to planters 
When trees or plants arrive, dig a hole 
or trench, throwing dirt to the west or 
south of hole, remove packing, place the 
trees, or plants, in the trench, tops to the 
south or west; this is to avoid sun scald; 
wet thoroughly, cover with at least four 
inches of dirt well up above the roots, 
firm the dirt with ball of foot or shovel, 
always keep roots from sun and wind, 
and water when you plant, firm dirt well 
around the plant and place mulch of loose 
dirt on top. A light mulch of barnyard 
manure, or peat moss, around each plant, 
helps keep the moisture in and the sun 
rays out. Water again in a few days, and 
never let it get free from moisture.
