DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. 
The best possible time to plant evergreens is in the spring, when the 
ground has become warm and mellow, usually about corn planting time. 
Great care should be taken to have 
the ground in proper condition for 
planting, and mellow soil that has been 
cultivated to some hoed crop will do. 
Spade it deep, rake it fine and level, lay 
out the beds four feet wide, lay a board 
across the end of the bed, and cut a 
trench, as shown in Fig. 2. 
Place these plants in the trench, fill¬ 
ing in moist soil, and tramp firm, as 
shown in said figure. 
• Lay the board down and proceed to cut the next trench, as shown in Fig. 3. 
Put in the next row the same as Fig. 2, and proceed with the planting, and 
after shading the bed will appear as in Fig. 6. 
If one, two or three year seedlings are planted they should be shaded as 
shown in Fig. 6. 
While hoeing and weeding the plants the shade may either be removed 
from the bed or raised. 
One, two and three year evergreen seedlings should be planted two to 
six inches apart in the row, according to age and size. In planting it is well 
to use a board from 6 to 10 inches wide. 
Keep them free from weeds and ground mellow, and the growth they will 
make will be surprising. After they have had two years’ growth, plant where 
you want your shelter; have the soil in good, mellow condition, just as you 
would to plant corn; cultivate as you would corn, hoe them thoroughly, and 
don’t let a weed grow near them. The frames for shade are made of strips 
1x2 inches, and lath nailed to them one inch apart. If transplanted plants are 
used, the shading is not needed, although a little straw or hay should be 
sprinkled over the tops to shade them for a few days.
