GURNEY'S Planting Chart and Aids 
Nursery Planting Tips 
ALWAYS KEEP ROOTS COVERED 
THE UGHTER THE 
THE HARDER THE TRAMP 

Dig a hole large enough to accommo 
date the roots without crowding, and 
deep enough so tree can stand 14% in. 
deeper than it stood in the nursery row. 
Trim off roots with sharp knife. Loosen 
soil in hole and set tree, spreading 
roots out in a natural position. Then, 
fill in some of the fine top soil, jogging 
tree up and down to work soil when 
around roots. Tramp around tree with 
your feet, and pac the earth real 
solid so no air pockets remain. 
Now fill hole half full of soil using 
top soil first. Slowly pour on a bucket 
of water to thoroughly wet soil. Let 
settle, then fill with earth and tramp 
down firmly. Leave a depression around 
the tree to collect and hold moisture. 
WINTER MULCH. This is very es- 
sential to various perennials, lilies and 
roses. This mulch should not be all 
leaves alone, unless you can get oak 
leaves, because leaves pack too tightly. 
You can make a mixture of leaves 
and straw and lawn rakings, or wild 
hay, or small evergreen boughs. This 
much should be put on after the ground 
has frozen to prevent alternate thaw- 
ing and freezing. 
WATERING. Hoe or cultivate fre- 
quently, stirring the ground after rain 
or watering. In dry weather thorough 
water once a week. The best plan is 
to make a basin around the plant and 
fill it full of water several times until 
the ground is soaked 12 inches or more 
deep. After the water has soaked away, 
then fill up the basin with dry dirt. 
It is much better to let the water 
run out of the hose without a nozzle 
than it is to stand and sprinkle with 
a nozzle. 
TRANSPLANTING. Fall or early 
Spring are the times for transplanting, 
even moving to a new home at some 
distance. Practically anything can be 
transplanted if you can take enough 
of the surrounding soil with the plants. 
At all times be careful not to disturb 
the roots or expose them to sun or air. 
If you must move, do so in the winter
