RL/AINTIING /A TREE. 
HOLES.-Dig wide, deep holes. If the subsoil is poor. dig 2 % feet deep, and fill the bottom with a foot of good soil 
mixed with one-fourth rotted manure. 
Planting: Linden Tree. 
TunmiTNCi.—Trim as shown in the picture, 
cutting back half of last yeai ’s growth on the ends of the 
main branches. Cut out most of the inside twigs. Leave 
some buds on every branch. Cut close to a bud or side 
branch. 
TRIM SHRUBS by removing the old or largest shoots. 
Do not trim to a round form. 
ROOTS. Avoid breaking by rough handling. 
Cut smooth the broken roots, as at A, and spread roots 
in natural position the same depth as before. Pack the 
soil firmly under and between the roots, leaving no air 
.spaces. Soak the ground thoroughly. 
>1 IT.Cl!.— Cover ground with a mulch of strawy 
manure, leaves or salt hay, or keep a dry. fine earth- 
mulch by hoeing 4 inches deep and wider than the roots 
extend, once in two weeks, ail summer, especially a d y 
after heavy rains or watering. The next spring dig in 
the mulch, add fertilizer and more mulch. 
fertilisers*.—M anure is not a complete 
plant food. Apply on top or mix in the soil, but not 
against the roots, one quart of fertilizer, which should 
contain 5 to 10 per cent of potash. Wood-ashes and 
bone-flour are excellent. 
WATT EH.—Water once a week, or once in two 
weeks, from May to August, by soaking the ground 
thoroughly with half a barrel of water, unless there are 
heavy and frequent rains. 
KEEP DOWN WEEDS. A few weeds will take up 
more food and water than the tree. 
HEEUNG.IN.-To heel-in or temporarily 
plant trees on arrival, spread out roots, pack earth 
around, and water. 
STAKES.—Stakes or guys are needed only with 
tall or large trees, or those with poor roots. A tree of 
the size shown, with good roots, needs no stake or wire. 
For larger trees, rig three or four double wire guys, and 
twist tight, as shown. For smaller, or slender trees 
use a ? x 3-inch stake, running it up into the top if 
necessary, and fasten closely to the tree by cord and 
hose or burlap bands. To protect from horses on the 
street, place galvanized wire cloth (i-inch mesh) around 
the tree and nail it to the stake. 
EVERGREENS.—Evergreen tree roots must 
not be allowed to dry out in the least. If possible, 
select a foggy time for moving them, and in doubtful 
ca«es, set a barrel of water near and sprinkle the tops 
several times a day for a week or two. When carting 
trees, use blankets or sail cloth to cover the roots. 
«^If these directions are intelligently followed, and 
trees do not live and grow, please write us.
