PECAN BELT NURSERY CO., Fredericksburg, Texas 
HOW TO PLANT 
Trees and plants should always be 
set out as soon as received. If unable to 
do so, remove packing material and heel 
in the ground«, covering thoroughly with 
moist soil. 
When planting, make a rather large 
hole, fill up with good top-soil so as to 
set the tree the same depth it «stood in 
the nursery. Only mellow top-soil should 
be used among the roots; it should be 
packed firmly, having the roots in their 
natural position, which must not be dam¬ 
aged or bruised. 
Trees must be trimmed and watered 
at planting. Manure or other fertilizer 
should not be used- while planting, per¬ 
haps later. Trees are best protected 
agaist depredations by rabbits, etc., 
when the trunks are whitewashed with a 
solution of lime and blood in the Spring 
and Fall. Crushed glass scattered in the 
ground among the roots protects the 
trees against gophers.
