32 SPIELMAN'S 
Hints For Proper Planting and After Cultivation . 
Most of the nursery stock, that fails to grow, is not properly 
planted or cared for after planting. Transplanting is a ‘com- 
paratively easy operation and should be successful in nearly all 
cases, but ‘care must be given the plant to insure its growth, 
Water should be used once or twice a week in LIBERAL quan- 
tities and frequent loosening of the soil about the plant is es- 
sential. Plants received without soil on the roots should have 
their top trimmed back % to 1/3. of the new wood. 
Plant out in good soil. Dig holes deep and wide enough to 
contain the roots without cramping. Pack the earth FIRMLY 
about the roots but do not fill the hole quite full, leaving a 
basin to hold water. Allow NO MANURE 'OR FERTILIZER 
to touch the roots. Put this on top of the ground as a mulch. 
If these simple directions are followed, results will be satis-: 
factory in practically all cases. 
Evergreens should have their tops Baga with water daily 
during hot weather during the first years planting.
