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. 
Directions 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-rotted 
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, >ee 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.
