HOW and WHEN to PLANT NURSERY STOCK

tee 

GENERAL PLANTING 
The holes for planting must be large enough 
to receive the roots freely, without cramping or 
bending them from their natural position. All 
broken or mutilated portions of the roots must 
be cut off so as to leave the ends smooth and 
sound. All trees should be planted two or three 
inches deeper than they stood in the nursery 
row; pack the soil very firmly about the roots 
by tramping with the feet, being careful not to 
bark or break the roots. Leave three inches of 
the surface soil loose to serve as a mulch. If 
the ground is very dry apply one or two pails 
of water before this soil mulch is in place, and 
after the water has soaked away it can then 
be placed over ithe moist soil. Never put 
manure so as to come in contact with the roots 
of any plant or tree. Plant any time from Octo- 
ber 15th to March 15th, weather permitting.

HANDLING NURSERY STOCK UPON ARRIVAL—Receive your stock without delay and 
plant just as soon as possible. If weather conditions do not permit immediate planting or 
should planting be delayed more than one or two days, unpack stock, dip the roots in 
water, then heel-in in a well drained location, having the earth iramped solid about them. 
Stock which seems somewhat dry upon opening should be buried in wet soil for a day or so 
to liven stems before planting.
