Deciduous Trees 
The intelligent tree planter readily appreciates the difference in value between a tree dug in the forest 
and one taken from our nursery where it has received proper care during the first years of its life. The one 
is tall, slender and with only a small top; the other is sturdy, with well-developed trunk and a top that is 
a promise of its future beauty and usefulness as a shade tree. All of our trees have been transplanted 
several times and plenty of room for development allowed in the row. The root-system is perfect, and, 
when our nursery-grown trees are properly set and pruned, there should be no loss. 
Direct ions for Planting and Pruning. Before setting out, cut off the broken or bruised roots, should 
there be any. Trees with branching heads should have the smaller branches cut out, and the larger 
branches cut back to within three or four buds of their base; but, when a tree has an abundance of roots, 
and a small top, and few branches, then the pruning need not be so severe. However, when the roots are 
small and the top heavy, then prune the tree severely. In many cases remove every lateral limb, preserving 
only the leader, and this, if too long, may be cut back to the proper height. Frequently large trees are 
transplanted without pruning. This neglect will often cause the tree to die. Dig the hole intended for the 
tree of ample size, so when the young roots start out they will have soft ground in which to grow. The 
best fertilizer is well-rooted stable manure, thoroughly mixed with the soil. 
plant 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 
as to set the soil around the roots, then fill in the balance of the hole and press the dirt gently with the 
foot. When the tree is planted, if the ground is very dry, it should be sprinkled at evening and early 
morning. This will keep the bark tender and when rooted the sap will flow easily.
