PLANTING AND PRUNING 
On arrival of stock, plant at once if possible; if not, remove from packing, wet down well and heel in, 
in mellow soil, packing dirt firmly about roots; but plant as soon as possible. Do not expose roots to 
sun or wind as stock so exposed is not liable to grow. Soil for planting should be well drained. Prune all 
bruised or broken roots with a sharp knife. Trim all the trees up to four or five branches, suitable for 
forming a top. Cut these branches back to within four or five buds of the body or in other words about 
three-fourths of the growth. Peach trees, all branches should be cut off and cut back like a cane. This 
is important, do not fail to cut back your trees or shrubs for best results. In planting make holes large 
so as not to crowd roots. Use surface soil for filling in and plant as firmly as possible, pressing down 
soil well with the feet. Dynamiting the holes for 
Never put manure in the hole about the roots. 
AGE OF BEARING—DISTANCE TO PLANT 
As the age of bearing depends so much upon va¬ 
riety, soil, climatic conditions and care given, this 
can only be an approximate table under average 
conditions. To ascertain the number of trees or 
plants required for any given space, multiply the 
length of the space by the breadth to ascertain the 
number of square feet contained therein. Then mul¬ 
tiply the distance apart you intend to set your rows 
by the distance between each tree or plant in the 
row to get the number of square feet each tree or 
plant will take. Divide the number of square feet 
in the given space by the number of square feet 
each tree will require and the result is the quantity 
of trees or plants required for that given space. 
planting is better than digging holes with a shovel.
