Planting Instructions 
The roots of trees are something like fish, they 
don’t like too much exposure to air, sun and wind. 
So when planting be sure to plant} deep enough, 
not too deep, but the top root should be at least 
two inches below the level of the ground. Then 
leave a saucer-shaped depression around the tree 
large enough to hold water. 
It is highly important to have the soil packed 
thoroughly around the roots so they can make 
immediate contact with the soil. This can best be 
done by heavy watering. If this is not convenient, 
the soil should be packed thoroughly with the heel 
of the foot, the harder the better. 
If watering is necessary during the summer, put 
on plenty or else not any. Once a week is often 
enough if the ground gets a good soaking. It is 
best not to water in late summer, late growth is 
more subject to winter injury. In case of a very 
dry fall-it is advisable to really soak the tree 
roots before freeze-up. 
In many cases it is practical to use a heavy mulch 
for preserving moisture and holding down the 
weeas. if this is done the lower part of the shrub 
or tree should be mounded up with dirt in the fall 
for protection against mice. Small fruit trees can 
be wrapped with burlap as a guard against win- 
ter damage by rabbits. A wire screen or mound of 
dirt should be placed around fruit trees for 
keeping’ the mice away.
