HELPFUL INFORMATION 
HANDLING TREES ON ARRIVAL 
If possible plant at once. 
If the weather is too cold, put the box 
or bundle in a cool but frostproof cellar. 
If the weather is warm and you are 
not ready to plant, unpack at once and 
place the stock in a cool cellar, covering 
the roots with damp packing from the 
box or bundle and spread old sacks or 
canvas over them. Sprinkle enough wa- 
ter on the trees to keep them from dry- 
ing out, but do not drench the roots and 
tops. If possible heel them in, prefer- 
ably at the north side of a building, where 
they will have protection from the sun 
and their developement will be retarded. 
PREPARING THE GROUND 
Land that has been in some cultivated 
farm or garden crop is usually in the 
best condition for fruit trees and plants 
Plow deep and work the ground thorough- 
ly. 
An ideal soil, meliow, deep, fertile loam, 
is not often available and it may even be 
necessary to go to considerable trouble 
to improve the dirt you have.

To determine number of trees per 
acre for any given distance, multiply dis- 
tance between trees in row by width of 
row. Take resulting answer and divide 
43,560 by it. For example: To determine 
number of trees, planted 30x30, required 
to set one acre. 30X30 equals 900. 48,- 
560 divided by 900 equals 49 trees per 
acre. 
THE SECOND STEP is to place your 
order with a reliable firm. Inferior stock 
is costly at any price. You may forget 
the price but not the quality. 


I have planted and fruited a good many 
of your trees in the past 12 years and 
have always found them good, healthy, 
vigorous stock that bore true-to-name 
fruit.’’-—Stanley R. Gilbert, Bowie, Mary-

“T received the trees on (Friday and 
was well pleased. They were fresh and 
the roots were the best I have seen. I 
planted them promptly and have no doubt 
that all will be satisfactory.’’—Chas. S.
