SALIX BABYLONICA. Weeping Willow. Too well 
known to need a lengthy description. One of the best 
varieties we know of; will give a finish to the lawn 
which cannot be obtained with any other tree. Quick 
to take hold when transplanted and thrives with 
unusual vigor whether planted on moist or dry 
ground.

ULMUS • Elm 
ULMUS AMERICANA. American Elm. Sometimes 
called the White Elm and Water Elm, is one of the 
handsomest American trees. It is tall and spreading 
and when planted as near together as is customary on 
country roads, the effect of the mature trees is that 
of an arch formed by the growing together of their 
spreading tops. Is of rapid growth and long lived.

ULMUS PUMILA. Chinese Elm. Rapid grower and 
preferred to American Elm because it is not as sus¬ 
ceptible to disease.

PLANTING 
Nearly all plants taken from the open ground are 
lifted with a ball of earth around the roots. This is 
wrapped in moss, excelsior, or burlap. Plants with bur¬ 
lap around the ball may be planted with the burlap left 
on. Before filling the hole, cut the string to loosen the 
burlap and release it from the ball. It need not be re¬ 
moved from under the plant. (When moss or excelsior 
wrapping is about the earth ball, this wrapping must be 
carefully removed). In no case should the earth about 
the roots be disturbed. If the ball of earth falls away 
the plant must be defoliated and cut back.

EVERGREENS 
It is advisable to prune severely and defoliate such 
plants as Camphor, Elaeagnus, Ilex, Laurocerasus, 
Quercus and Photinia. 
Preparing the soil properly will give the best results. 
Dig holes of ample size. Place a layer of rich top soil 
in the bottom of the hole, set plant at proper depth and 
fill hole half full with earth. At this point pour in water 
freely, but do not wash soil from roots. Allow water to 
settle, put in more soil and firm it about the roots, then 
fill up the hole. Place a mulch of wed rotted leaves, 
compost, or well balanced commercial fertilizer about 
the plants in Winter and Summer. 
A FEW SUGGESTIONS 
Plants should be removed from the box or 
package as soon as possible after arriving. Some¬ 
times it is not always possible to plant them at 
once, in which case see that the roots are wet 
and then place them in a cool, shady place, 
keeping the roots moist. 
Plants that are “balled and burlapped” should 
be set deep enough to entirely cover the wrap¬ 
ping. Do not remove the wrapping material, but 
plant the entire ball as received. If the plants 
are from pots, set them considerably deeper than 
they were in the pot. Do not try to straighten out 
the root system of potted plants. It is best to 
shade the trunks of large trees with straw or 
loosely wound burlap until growth is well ad¬ 
vanced. AH plants are better for shade the first 
few days, especially during the heat of the day. 
One of the most important things to do after 
setting a plant or tree is to thoroughly soak the 
ground down to the subsoil and leave the surface 
dished so that the rainfall or future watering will 
be held. The mulching should be spread over 
this area and even beyond it, to conserve mois¬ 
ture and keep the ground as cool as possible. Do 
not allow the mulching to touch the plant. 
Watering must be kept up from a few days apart 
to weekly intervals until the plants are well 
established or even longer if the weather is 
unduly dry.
