PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Planting Season—Stock should not be planted until dormant in the fall nor after growth 
starts in the spring. Under ordinary weather conditions therefore our digging and shipping 
season begins in late October and continues until early May, the winters generally being 
sufficiently mild to permit safe handling of nursery stock, with but few short interruptions. 
Early fall planting is preferable as a rule as roots form all winter and stock is ready to 
grow as soon as warm weather begins. 
It is advisable to order early, as a better selection and more complete assortment can be 
had. Orders placed early are generally planted early. Orders can be placed early with in¬ 
structions to ship at a given time, when you are ready to plant. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
In case you do not immediately plant the trees, it will be well to heel them in, namely, to 
bury the roots in the ground to keep them fresh and from being frozen. 
In doing this dig a trench long enough and wide enough to hold the trees you have; cut 
the bottom string on the bunches, place them in the trench, spreading the trees so as to 
have the dirt worked in, leaving no exposed places. The tree should NOT be laid down at an 
angle of 45 degrees, but should be stood straight up, for a lot of nursery stock is injured by 
being heeled-in in a reclining position, for many times the dirt from the trench is left under 
the trees which are close to the ground. This dirt is still warm, or warm enough to make 
the sap in the trees active and if there should be frosty weather in a short time after the 
trees have been healed-in in a reclining position the sap will be frozen, resulting in soured 
sap and a lasting injury to the tree and you will also be writing in to the nursery that the 
stock was diseased, etc., when the cause was really wrong methods of heeling-in. We do 
not mean to infer that to heel-in in a reclining position will always result in damage, but 
do mean to infer that you are flirting with disaster, if it is done. Be sure and bury the roots 
plenty deep, anyway 16 to 18 inches. 
Id Planting. Do not plant too deep, but about an inch or two deeper than they grew in 
the nursery. This may be determined by the color of the bark above the roots, showing 
where the ground line came. Have the holes wide enough so as to hold the roots without 
crowding. Tramp well after a couple of inches of dirt have been put in, etc., until the hole 
tramped In late spring planting, if a bucket of water could be thrown in when the hole is 
half filled with dirt it would be very beneficial. 
Do not plant or expose the roots when it is freezing. That is, do not start planting frosty 
mornings or until it starts to thaw, and do not leave the trees you have not planted during 
the day outside and take a chance on it freezing until you start planting again the next 
morning. For if the exposed roots are caught in a frost, the chances are that they will not 
grow and you might think you had been swindled by your nurseryman, while it would only 
be through your own negligence in not taking care of the trees during planting operations.
