fertilizer is well-rooted stable manure, thoroughly mixed with the soil me best 
I lant about two inches deeper than the tree originally stood in the nursery row, using the top soil for 
filling in around the roots. See that every interstice around the roots is thoroughly filled, and that every 
root is brought into contact with the soil. When the hole is nearly filled, pour in a bucket of water so ns to 
set the soil around the roots, then fill in the balance of the hole and press the dirt gently with ’the foot. 
W hen the tree is planted, mulch with five to six inches of well-decomposed stable manure, or rotted leaves- 
this should extend over the circumference of the hole. Keep free from grass and weeds, and loosen up the soil 
occasionally.
