IMPORTANT HINTS ON PLANTING AND CULTIVATING, 
As soon as the nursery stock is unpacked, a trench should he dug and the roots set in, covering them 
with moist earth, until they can be planted. If this cannot be done they should remain in the packing material 
and be kept moist until the ground is ready for them. Many failures result from an utter disregard of this 
important rule. Another safe-guard is the thorough preparation of the soil for planting. In a shrub border, 
or where beds are to planted with shrubs, they should have the soil thoroughly spaded up and well-rotted 
manure well mixed with the soil. 
Success cannot be hoped for where grass and baked earth is allowed to surround the trees or shrubs 
after being planted. An occasional stirring of the top soil will prevent a newly planted tree or shrub from dying, 
even if water is not freely given. In our nursery thousands of young trees are kept alive by stirring the soil 
with cultivators during the dry season. The value of this practice can be especially recommended in private 
grounds and gardens by keeping the ground open by hoeing or working around the plants. 
Holes for trees and shrubs should be large enough at all times to allow the roots to be spread out so as 
to stand in the same position as when growing in the nursery, so that fresh earth may come in contact with 
all the roots: and in filling in the earth around the roots, it should invariably be made firm so that there will 
be no air spaces in the soil. Trees and shrubs should be planted a little deeper than in the nursery. Losses 
are often prevented by heavy mulching or covering with manure, which prevents rapid evaporation from the 
soil. 
An important requirement which Is too often neglected is the close pruning of trees and shrubs. 
Trees which are difficult to transplant can be saved by being cut almost to a bare pole. While not so orna¬ 
mental, they amply repay in their subsequent growth. Hybrid Hoses should be reduced to four or five buds. 
A large percentage of the loss in rose planting is due to the failure to prune closely. 
In planting Herbaceous Perennials, it is a good plan to mulch the ground thoroughly after planting. 
If this is not done, it is important to keep the ground stirred well to prevent it from baking and drying out.

RULE.^_In finding the number of plants or trees that a piece of ground will hold, determine the distances 
you are to set them apart; pace your piece of ground to find how many rows you will have; also, find how 
many it will take for each row; find the product of the two, and you have the number that you want.
