GENERAL PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Ornamental, Shade Trees and Deciduous Shrubs 
PLANTING SEASON: OCT. 15 TO MAY 1. MUST BE DORMANT 
Upon arrival open bundles and remove packing materials. If impossible to plant 
immediately, bury the roots in a shady place, packing well with soil so air cannot 
possibly reach them. But, if possible, plant immediately in soil well worked and 
loosened. Dig a hole large enough to admit the roots in their natural position. If 
roots are crowded you will be sure to lose the plant. After placing the plant in the 
hole, fill the hole about half full with soil and tramp it solid. Then, if the soil is dry 
fill the hole with water and let it settle. Finally, pack dirt in the remainder of the 
hole. 
Evergreens 
PLANTING SEASON: AUG. 15 TO JUNE 1 
Dig a hole a little larger than the ball of earth around the tree. Leave burlap on 
the ball and place same in the hole, filling in the remaining space with well packed soil. 
DO NOT REMOVE THE BURLAP for it holds the ball of earth in place around the 
roots. Water thoroughly when hole is about % filled with soil. 
Keep the top soil around your plants loosened to the depth of about an inch to pre¬ 
vent the ground from baking and to conserve moisture. 
Do not use manure or fertilizer for evergreen. 
Do not allow dogs to get to evergreens. Place a wire screen or Barberry around 
them for protection. 
Evergreens need a bath frequently. Turn the hose on them full force and keep 
them clean. Never do this in full sun for this burns the foliage. 
Water evergreens about once each week in extremely dry weather, not oftener 
but thoroughly.
