PLANTING AND PRUNING 
The sixteen page booklet, “How to Plant,” is included with every order. This booklet is a 
valuable aid to gardeners because of its complete directions for correct planting and care. 
It covers preparation of the ground for planting, handling of stock on arrival, pruning before 
and after planting, proper spacing of trees and shrubs, trimming of hedges, care and _plant- 
ing of bulbs, tubers and perennials, hints on insect control and other helpful information. 
Special Planting and Pruning Instructions are included with all grapevines. These contain 
complete information. Beginning with the planting of the vines and continuing through to 
the care of mature vines, all important cultural procedures are explained and illustrated. 
PLANTING SEASONS 
We recommend both spring and fall planting. They are equally good. Fall planting should 
be done in November or early December. We cannot make fall shipments before November 
first. 
More planting is done in the spring, and for spring planting April and May are best in this 
part of New York. 
We recommend ordering in advance of planting dates—the earlier the better. 
ORNAMENTAL AND USEFUL 
One of our customers stresses the ornamental as well as crop value of standard fruit trees. 
Along the garden edge of his driveway he has planted a row of two apricot and four peach 
trees with six or eight currant bushes in between. Along the back of the garden is a trellis of 
grapevines which not only furnish fruit but serve to conceal a vacant lot. In one corner is a 
big Northern Spy apple tree which is a mass of beautiful blossoms in the spring and heavy 
with delicious apples in the fall. 
Around the back of the house is a semi-circle of two Montmorency cherry trees, a Fellemburg 
prune, a pear tree, and a sweet cherry tree. All of these trees add to the attractiveness of 
this garden, blossoms in the spring and fruit in the fall. 
Along the borders of the vegetable garden and in the rock garden are set plants of Mastodon 
Everbearing strawberries. Their white flowers peeping through the green foliage and fol- 
lowed by excellent quality fruit are as easy to grow and to look at as any border plant. 
It is not necessary to have a large, formal orchard to enjoy the benefits of fruit trees.
