To determine number of treco to an acre for any 
given distance apart, multiply distance apart, and 
divide 43,650 by this product. 
For example: 
18 X 20 feet—360 
43,560 X 360—121 
There are 121 trees per acre, planted 18 by 20 feet. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Many do not realize the importance of giving trees 
a little care upon arrival. For this reason we are giv¬ 
ing this space in our catalog for your benefit. Failure 
to get satisfactory results can be largely avoided by 
observing the few simple but important instructions 
here given. 
CARE UPON ARRIVAL 
On arrival of the trees from the Nursery, if unable 
to plant immediately and if the trees are dug without 
a ball of earth intact (Balled), they should be taken 
from the bale or box at once, counted and the in¬ 
dividual trees examined. Should there be a shortage 
it should BE REPORTED AT ONCE. Bare-rooted 
stock should be immediately 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. The soil should be thoroughly 
packed around the roots. Water freely and frequently 
until the trees are planted. 
STOCK ARRIVING IN FREEZING WEATHER 
If frozen when received, do not open the bales or 
boxes, but place them in a cellar or some cool, dark 
room that is free from frost, and let them remain 
until all frost is drawn out. If no cellar or frost proof 
room is available, bury the box or bales in sawdust 
or dirt until thawed. The point is to get the frost 
entirely out without sudden exposure of stock to 
heat, light or air. Even if frozen solid, stock will not 
be injured if handled in this manner. 
TIME OF PLANTING 
In this climate vegetation, although inactive in the 
winter for the formation of leaves and new wood, is 
never so as to new roots. A tree transplanted in the 
early winter will, by the ensuing spring, have grown 
sufficient new roots to give it a firm hold in the 
pound, and will grow off rapidly when active vege¬ 
tation commences. Plant as early after the first 
piling post as practicable, although hardy stock can 
be safely transplanted any time during the winter 
when the ground is not too wet or frozen. Planting 
can be continued until the middle of March or until 
just before the buds begin to swell.
