SUCCESSFUL PLANTING, 
PRUNING AND CARE OF STOCK 
The bundles should be opened immediately, the roots 
dipped in water, then heeled in moist ground so that the 
mellow earth will come in contact with the roots and thor¬ 
oughly protect them from the air, having the earth tramped 
solid about them. 
When ready to plant, take up only a few at a time, pud¬ 
dle the roots and do not allow them to lie exposed to the 
sun or air. 
The ground should be carefully prepared by deep plow¬ 
ing and firming down with a disc and harrow. 
PLANTING 
The holes for planting must be large enough to receive 
the roots freely, without cramping or bending them from 
their natural position. All broken or mutilated portions of 
the roots must be cut off so as to leave the ends smooth and 
sound. All trees should be planted two or three inches 
deeper than they stood in the nursery row; pack the soil 
very firmly about the roots by tamping with the feet 
or post tamper, being careful not to bark or break the 
roots. Leave three inches of the surface soil loose to serve 
as a mulch. If the ground is very dry apply one to two 
pails of water before this soil mulch is in place, and after 
the water has soaked away it can then be placed over the 
moist soil. 
PRUNING 
Many failures of newly transplanted stock are due to 
the lack of proper pruning. When the trees are dug in the 
nursery, some of the feeding roots are left in the ground, 
therefore, when transplanting it is necessary to restore the 
balance between the roots and the top by removing part 
of the tops.
