March as weather will permit and continue until] 
about the first of May, though would advise those 
oidering, especially from south of here, to plant 
by middle of April, 
Fall shipping starts as soon as leaves are off in 
October, and is continued until cold weather. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
If conditions will not permit planting when 
trees are received, unpack and heel them in a 
trench, not putting them more than two deep. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Have holes dug before taking trees out for 
planting. The holes should be deep and large 
enough to allow all roots to be placed in their 
natural position. 
Take out only a few trees at a time to be 
planted and while one is being planted protect 
the roots of others from sun and wind by wrap- 
ping in wet burlap. Do not at any time expose 
roots to the sun and wind any more than is ab- 
solutely necessary. 
Cut off the ends of all bruised or broken roots, 
as a fresh cut will callous over quicker than an 
old one. 
Fill in around roots with well pulverized dirt, 
using only top soil, and firm the dirt well about 
the roots, being sure to not leave any air spaces. 
Plant trees about the same depth as they grew 
in the nursery, not mor2 than two or three 
inches deeper at most and do not use any ma- 
nure where it will come in contact with the roots. 
Remember that a tree is a living plant and that 
its future dep2nds on the care you give it from 
the time it comes into your possession. 
AFTER CARE 
Nut trees will readily respond to cultivation and 
fertilization. It is well, in the _pring !oefore time 
for dry weather, to mulch trees well to keep 
ground around them cool, moist stnaw, leaves, or 
strawy Manure may be used. If the latter is 
used, keep it away from the body if the tree. 
After the first season cultivation should be 
given. 
If trees are planted in the fall, and many 
planters, prefer fall planting, then mulch well 
before cold weather, the mulch will prevent sud- 
d2n freezing, and thawing of the ground, which 
causes ground to heave, and might pull tree 
slightly out of ground. 
The production of nut trees in nursery is 
slow, and the propagation is both difficult, and 
expensive, making them hizher in price than 
most kinds of food producing trees, 
They ar2 also more valuable, and I take special 
care in digging, use only the very best packing 
miaterial (which is expensive) to insure trees 
reaching customer in best possible conidition, 
and ask you to give them extra care for which 
they will reward you in the future. 
Many reports, verified by photographs, have 
been received of unusual production of these
