PLANTING AND PRUNING 
On arrival of stock, plant at once if possible; if not, remove from packing, wet down well and 
heel in, in mellow soil, packing dirt firmly about roots; but plant as soon as possible. Do not expose 
roots to sun or wind, as stock so exposed is not liable to grow. Soil for planting should be well 
drained. Prune all bruised or broken roots with a sharp knife. Trim all the trees up to four or 
five branches, suitable for forming a top. Cut these branches back to within four or five buds 
of the body or, in other words, about three-fourths of the growth. Peach trees, all branches should 
be cut off and cut back like a cane. This is important, do not fail to cut back your trees or shrubs 
for best results. In planting, make holes large so as not to crowd roots. Use surface soil for filling 
in and plant as firmly as possible, pressing down soil well with the feet. Dynamiting the holes for 
planting is better than digging holes with a shovel. Never put manure in the hole about the roots.

Save 
This 
Catalog 
Due to the unsettled 
conditions of the 
world — nobody is 
sure of anything — 
with the old excep- 
tion of death and 
taxes. 
Shortages of labor 
and materials could 
prevent us from is- 
suing a catalog next 
Spring. Of course, 
we have every inten- 
tion of getting out 
our regular catalog 
as usual in 1945, but 
if it were impossible, 
this 1944 book—if 
saved by you this 
year—could be used 
to order anything in 
the seed and nursery 
line you might re- 
quire until such a 
time as a new cata- 
log could be issued.
