How To Plant and How To Prune 
1— Set plants slightly deeper 
than in nursery. 
2— Spread out roots naturally. 
3— Shake good soil down 
among roots — work in 
with fingers. 
4 — Shake tree up and down 
to settle dirt. 
5— Tread soil firmly when 
hole is half full. 
6— Fill hole and tramp soil. 
7— Leave loose soil on top or 
cover ground with mulch. 
8— Pocket left to catch 
water. 
In pruning Fruit Trees, cut the side branches to 6-8 inch stubs and do not leave 
more than five to a tree. See that these are distributed around the trunk. One 
year trees are simply headed to whatever height they are wanted. 
NOTE—Always keep the roots covered. Dig hole large enough to receive plant without 
bending roots. Break up subsoil when it is very hard. 
PLANTINC AND AFTER-CARE OF BERRIES 
Prepare your ground as you would for your vegetables, open rows with small horse plow, 
and space plants two and a half to three and a half feet apart. The rows should be five 
feet or wider. Plant about four to five inches deep, and cut off tops three inches above 
the ground. 
As they grow older do not allow too many canes to develop, rather just a few strong 
canes. Pinch out the tops of these, when the tips are soft. Should you prefer to train on 
wires or stakes, thin out the plants to four canes and allow tops to develop naturally. 
The brambles are perennials whose old wood dies after producing one crop. This wood 
should be removed as soon as through fruiting. These plants have no particular insect 
enemies. 
We suggest that you feed young trees to promote health and vigor. Nitrate of Soda, 
Sulphate of Ammonia, Bone Meal, Manures, or similar soil builders applied in moderation 
often spell the difference between success and failure. Strong, vigorous trees can stand 
unfavorable weather conditions, frost and even disease. Good soil means early maturity 
and heavy yields.
