PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
More nursery stock is lost through NEGLECT than 
any other cause. It should be borne in mind that these 
products are perishable—that they will not live and pros¬ 
per unless they receive proper attention at planting time, 
and afterwards. 
CARE UPON ARRIVAL 
On arival of the trees from the Nursery, if unable 
to plant immediately, they should be taken from the bale 
or box at once, counted and the individual tree exam¬ 
ined. Should there be a shortage it should be reported 
at once. Bare-rooted stock should immediately be heeled 
in a well-drained, moist piece of sandy ground in order 
that the soil may thoroughly pulverize between the 
roots, keeping them from air-drying. Water freely and 
frequently until the trees are planted. 
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL 
The most desirable soil for fruit trees is a rich 
loam, naturally dry or made so by drainage. Peaches 
and plums must be planted on high, well-drained soil. 
Before planting, prepare the land by thoroughly plow¬ 
ing and subsoiling, first using a two-horse plow, follow¬ 
ed by a sub-soil plow. Lay off the rows at required 
distances, and dig holes at least two feet wide and two 
feet deep; fill the holes by breaking in the sides, com¬ 
mencing at the bottom.
