GREEN’S QUALITY TREES, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
WHY TREES DIE.—The majority of trees that fail to 
live, die from careless or improper planting. We feel confi¬ 
dent that if you will follow carefully the instructions given 
on these pages, your trees will grow and prove a source of 
pleasure and profit. Nothing flourishes with neglect. This 
is true with trees as well as everything else. Handle your 
trees carefully, plant them correctly and give them a little 
attention after planting and you will be surprised with the 
ease with which very favorable results can be obtained.

To ascertain the number of plants required for an acre at 
any given distance, divide 43,560 (the number of square 
feet in an acre) by the distance between the rows multiplied 
by the distance between the plants in the rows. Example* 
Hants set in rows 4 ft. apart with the plants 2 ft. apart in 
the rows, give each plant 8 sq. ft. 43,560 divided bv S gives 
a ,445 plants per acre. 
IF APPLE TREES are planted thirty feet or more apart 
each way, rows of plum trees can be planted between the 
apples, which grow more rapidly and so protect them from the 
winds and thus prove a great benefit to the apple trees. 
After eight or ten years of productiveness, as the space is 
needed for the apples, the plum trees may be removed, and 
at the same time have yielded the planter a large return 
for his outlay and labor.

HOW TO LAY OUT AN APPLE ORCHARD.—The 
larger trees represented in the above cut are those for a 
permanent orchard. The smaller represent either plum or 
peach trees used as fillers. 
POSTAGE FOR PARCEL POST—The additional charge 
made for sending items by parcel post covers not only the 
postage, but the additional care in packing and the very 
high grade of expensive moss necessary to use in parcel post 
shipments, so if the actual postage on your package when 
you receive it is less than the amount you have paid, please 
bear in mind that part of this charge was made for packing 
and packing material.. Do not ask us to refund unused post¬ 
age. We cannot tell just what the postage and extra pack¬ 
ing will amount to. Sometimes it is more than is allowed, 
sometimes a little less. 
PLANTING THE RASPBERRY 
Most failures with raspberries are due to the planting of the 
tip or germ of black caps too deep. This white tip or germ, 
which contains the vitality of the plant, is found at the 
juncture of the cane and the root, and the tip should be put 
just below the level of the soil, point up, with a covering of 
half an inch only of loose soil oyer the tep, the roots covered 
three inches. If this tip or germ is buried deeply, your planting 
may be a failure. Red raspberry plants may be planted 
deeper than the tip plants of black raspberry. 
FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE BEST—C. A. Green is 
growing plants, vines and trees for those who want the best. 
He contends that he has the best block of apples, peaches, 
pears,, etc., that can be found anywhere in this country. 
Experienced planters who have seen these big fields of fruit 
trees have said that they were the best in the country. Not 
only are they very large, vigorous trees, full of vitality, but 
they have come from buds or grafts of trees in bearing at 
Green’s Fruit Farm, thus can be relied upon to be absolutely 
true to name, which is one of the most 'mportant things in 
connection with tree growing. But further than this, C. A. 
Green’s men of long experience have learned how to dig, 
pack and ship trees so that they will reach destination in the 
best possible condition.
