Helpful Suggestions to Planters Setting Out Young Trees 
Care of Trees on Arrival 
In planting nursery stock, one must remember 
that he is handling a perishable article, and in 
order for success the trees and plants must be 
handled properly on arrival. If for any reason the 
trees cannot be planted at once, we recommend 
the following procedure: 
Boxed shipments should be kept intact in a 
cool place where the trees will not dry out. They 
can be kept in the box for a week to ten days 
without harm. Smaller baled shipments should 
be opened and placed in a cool, damp shelter, 
such as an ordinary house cellar. The roots 
should be kept damp and covered with burlap 
or other such material. Do not unpack trees and 
heel them in the ground where they are exposed 
to the drying winds and sun before planting. 
POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
The value of iiollination in the j)roduction of a 
fruit croj) is now recognized. Although many 
varieties are self-fruitful and thus re(]uire no 
pollination from another variety, exjieriments 
show they are greatly benefited by cross jiollin- 
ation. Necessarily because of the lack of space 
available, we are only able to give brief notes on 
this important t()|)ic. For more detailed informa¬ 
tion, we suggest that you write to your State 
(Jolh'ge or Ex|Hu-imental Station, the address of 
which we would be pleased to furnish on re(]uest. 
If you do not care to give att(‘nti()n to this detail, 
just write, stating the number of trees you wish 
to plant, and we will be pleased to be of servi(*e 
and sugg(‘st the lu^st combinations. 
APPLES Varieties such as McIntosh, R. 1. 
(Ireening, R(‘(I (Iravenstein, and Northern S|)v 
set little fruit without the assistance of an 
eflicient pollinator, (lood varieties to use for 
pollination are (’ortland. Wealthy, Delicious, 
and Macoun. 
PEACHES- \Vith the exception of Mikado and 
J. H. Hale, all the varieties we offer are self- 
fruitful. 
CHERRIES -Sweet Cherries are self-unfruitful, 
so must be interplanted. WJiere Napoleon, Bing, 
and Lambert are to be ])lanted together another 
variety such as Windsor or Black Tartarian must 
be added as the first three will not ])ollinate 
each other. The Sour varieties are self-fruitful. 
PEARS Most varieties of j^ears do not set a 
good croj) when plant(Ml alone. Pollination is 
therefore necessary, and the only combination 
that is incorniiatible is Bartlett and Seckel. 
PLUMS -With the exce])tion of the Prunes, 
Fellemburg, (lerman, Stanley, etc., which are 
self-fruitful, plums should be inter-planted to 
insure a set of fruit—European varieties for 
pollinating that class and .Japanese sorts for 
those varieties.
