HOW TO PLANT A TBEE 
BigHt Way 
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 care¬ 
fully placed in their natural direc¬ 
tions; tap roots of oak trees should 
extend straight down. Fill 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. When 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 in¬ 
ches 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 re¬ 
duce demands on the disturbed 
roots. Oak trees should never have 
the central leader cut, but otherwise 
should be severely pruned.
