PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
For planting all kinds of nursery trees holes should be 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide. 
Fill holes entirely with rich cultivated top soil, put one or two shovelsfull of barn yard 
manure mixed with soil, but do not let manure touch roots of trees. DO NOT use Com- 
mercial Fertilizer in holes where trees are set. Cut off long and broken roots; Peach 
trees should be cut back to 2 or 3 feet. Do not set trees deeper than they grow in nur- 
sery row. 
Pour plenty of water in around the roots and be sure to pack dirt firmly. 
Pecans should be put in holes 3 to 4 feet deep, well watered and soil thoroughly 
packed. 
Fertilize growing trees by pulling manure or fertilizer on the ground around the 
trees and dig in well. Keep trees cultivated and watered during drought their first year. 
Do not let water stand near or around fruit trees at any season. Keep soil elevated 
enough to insure good drainage. 
My place is just below the old Newton Nurseries, where I hope to meet my friends 
and customers and add many new ones to my list.
