Helpful Hints in Growing Nursery Stock 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: All the necessary 
information will be found in the little planting guide 
sent with every order. 
SPRAYING: Conditions vary in the different states 
or localities so it is advisable to write to your State 
Experiment Station for a free bulletin on the subject. 
Our local Experiment Station suggests the following 
formula for the home orchard or garden: 
Wettable Sulphur cee ne > Ibs. 
ead Arsenate wiceens: octets 5 ae. 2 Ibs. 
ROtenonemer aeraeeat <a. ore 3 Ibs. 
‘Lotalaen. on a. See See 10 Ibs 
This amount is to be mixed with 100, gallons of water. 
If smaller lots are required, simply use a | pound 
lot with each 10 gallons of water or smaller lots in 
proportion. 
Make application (1) Before Bloom, (2) After Bloom, 
(3) Memorial Day, (4) Fourth of July. 
Effective on fruits and roses, including apples, pears, 
cherries, and plums and also on vegetables such as 
tomatoes, potatoes, beans, cucumbers and melons. 
THIS IS NOT FOOL PROOF but it is satisfactory 
for the home garden and orchard. 
POLLINATION: In Apples, varieties such as Mc- 
Intoch, R. I. Greening, Gravenstein and Red Spy 
should be planted with varieties such as Cortland, 
Delicious and Baldwin as the former set little fruit 
without the assistance of a good pollinator. Cherries 
should also be planted in lots of two, each one a 
different variety as one will pollinate the other. In 
Plums, two different varieties should be planted for 
pollination with the exception of the Fellenberg and 
Stanley prunes which are self-fruitful. With Peaches, 
all the varieties listed in our catalog are self-fruitful, 
with the exception of the J. H. Hale. Another variety 
should be planted with this peach. Apricots require 
cross-pollination so it is necessary to set out two 
trees to insure a set of fruit. 
BEARING AGE: Much depends on the variety so 
we have tried to strike an average. After Planting,

MOST RAPID GROWING SHADE TREES 
The Chinese Elm is by far the most rapid grower of 
all shade trees, however the wood is soft which 
means the branches will sometimes split under a 
heavy weight of ice or sleet unless they are kept 
properly trimmed. 
The Silver Maple is another very rapid grower and 
the branches are heavier and sturdier than the 
Chinese Elm but not so strong as the Norway or 
Hard Maple. 
The Hardy Catalpa is also a fast grower but more 
of an ornamental tree. 
NUMBER OF PLANTS OR TREES NEEDED PER ACRE 
Multiply the distance the plants are to be set apart by the width of the row. This result divided into 43,560, 
the number of square feet per acre is the number of trees required for an acre.
