FRUIT 
On receipt of shipment unpack immediately, 
and if not planted at once place the roots 
of the trees in a trench, cover with soil, 
and water thoroughly, so as to settle the 
dirt about the roots. 
It is of great litiportance to dig holes deep 
and large t(» admit all the roots in their 
natural position. An.v injured roots should 
be cut off with a sh;irp knife. Kill the hole 
with the surftice soil, so that the tree, after 
the earth has settled, will stand about as 
deep as It did in the nursery, a line which 
can usually be noted liy a difference in color. 
Settle the soil well around the roots by 
filling the hole with water. Never let man¬ 
ure come in contact with the roots, but it 
can be used as a top dressing.
