Figure 7.) The dotted lines indicate the 
hole before the earth has been filled in 
around the roots. Pack the earth from the 
bottom to top of hole with a rammer, same 
as you would firm earth in a post hole; 
water freely. These holes should be from 
18 inches to two feet across the top and 
sufficiently deep to allow the tree to be 
planted same depth it originally stood in 
the nursery row. 
Fourth. Plant the trees the same depth 
that they originally stood in the nursery. 
Fifth. Have the ground properly pre¬ 
pared and give the tree good attention 
after planting. 
Sixth. If tree is planted in an exposed 
place where liable to be run over or broken 
down, protect it. 
A ISIork of Our Choice Bnrlelt I*car Trees in Nursery Rows 
If the following simple but necessary 
rules are followed and kept in mind you 
can hardly help but succeed. 
First. Never allow the roots of the 
trees to become dry. 
Second. Remove broken or mutilated 
roots with a sharp knife. 
Third. Firm or pack the earth around 
the roots of the trees, using water to settle 
the soil around the roots. 
Seventh. For best results when plant¬ 
ing an orchard we would recommend the 
use of tree protectors to protect the bodies 
of the trees from sunburn, also from rab¬ 
bits and other small animals that prey on 
and injure young nursery stock. The most 
valuable protector on the market is made 
from the Yucca Palm. They are easily put 
on and are porous, allowing a free circu¬ 
lation of air, at the same time affording 
every protection. We can supply these pro¬ 
tectors in any quantity. Write us for 
prices.
