How To Plant and Prune Shade and Ornamental Trees 

Constantly protect all roots from sun and 
air. Plant in holes dug much larger than the 
spread of the roots so that the latter can be 
carefully placed in their natural directions. 
Tap roots of oaks should extend straight 
own. 
Tree should stand two inches deeper than it 
did in the nursery. Work the soil firmly 
under and about the roots. When the hole is 
two-thirds filled, water heavily to set soil 
about roots. Complete the filling of the hole 
with good rich soil, then mulch with strawy 
manure spread three inches deep. 
Before setting trim the branches by remov- 
ing three-fourths of last year’s growth, but 
with shade trees having a heavy top, from 
one-third to one-half of the top should be re- 
moved by cutting out some of the _ small 
branches, and trimming back the side branches. 
Do not cut off the leader branch (main stem 
branch). Leave branches at wide angles so as 
to provide a broad head. Cut off all bruised 
or broken roots. 
Drive a solid stake into the ground and tie 
tree to it with heavy twine or strips of old 
cloth. This prevents tree whipping in the 
wind and loosening roots in the _ soil. Two 
stakes should be used if required.
