Peaches, plums and cherries do best on hillsides. Grapes, pears, apples, pecans and 
berries will do well on both upland and lowland. Emits that ripen late, like late peaches, 
pears, apples and pecan should be planted on drought resistant soils.

CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
Trees should be unpacked on arrival and either planted or set in a trench and 
watered. If dry, put roots in water from 2 to 4 hours. Do not expose roots to drying 
wind and sunshine. If frozen on arrival, bury the entire bale under ground until 
weather moderates. 
PREPARATION OF LAND 
Plow and harrow land before planting. Check land at desired distances and dig- 
fruit tree holes 2 ft. wide, 18 inches deep and other holes in proportion to size of root 
system. It pays to care for your trees. 
PLANTING 
Prune all broken or brused roots back for healthy growth. Plant trees an inch 
deeper than they originally grew. Use, loamy top soil in filling the hole and water all 
the ground will take. This settles the soil around the roots. Lean trees slightly to the 
windward direction. Plant bulbs from 4 to 6 inches deep. 
PRUNE TOPS 
Better live, shape and growth is gotton by cutting tops back 2-5 at planting and 
with roses more than one half. Later pruning can be done at any time of year, cutting- 
back branches that out-grow the rest of the top and removing branches that grow too 
low. No injury will come from cutting 25% of leaves from tops during the growing 
season. Paint large wounds with orange shellac and then use house paint. Roses and 
flowering shrubs bloom better if blossoms are pruned off before seed are matured. 
Evergreens should be pruned anytime to preserve shape and size desired.
