Planting 
Planting may be done in the Fall or Spring. Tlie 
Fall Season starts with the falling of leaves in the 
Autumn and continues until the ground freezes. _ TTie 
Spring Season opens when the frost is out of the 
ground and continues until trees are in full leaf. 
Perennials, however, can be moved earlier in the 
Fall and later in the Spring. Generally speaking, nur¬ 
sery stock can be planted in either the Spring or Fall 
Seasons. There are, however, a few exceptions, and 
these are limited to Spring planting only. 
When trees are planted in the Fall it is better to 
mound up the soil to shed water and this should be 
reversed in the Spring, that is, saucered or slightly de¬ 
pressed toward the tree to allow the water to pene¬ 
trate to the roots. 
Customers who do their own planting should use 
the utmost care in handling the plants. Dig the hole 
four to six inches larger than the roots and fill in 
with good fine soil packing same firmly around the 
roots. 
Plants should be set two inches' deeper than they 
stood in the nursery. The nursery depth can easily 
be seen on the plant.
