HOW TO GROW Conifers 
In their natural habitat conifers grow in a situation 
providing the roots with excellent drainage and a sur- 
face mulch holding a fairly constant supply of mois- 
ture. Conifers find it difficult to grow in some of our 
heavy soils, which are inclined to hold too much 
water from winter and spring rainfall and dry out 
too rapidly during the summer. 
If yours is a heavy soil, not well drained, we suggest 
that you dig an extra deep hole, two feet deeper and 
two feet wider than required to accommodate the ball. 
Fill in the bottom of the hole with twelve inches of 
coarse gravel or stones. Soak in good topsoil to fill 
spaces between the gravel. It is advisable to mix one 
chovelful of Gypsum to each two shovelfuls of top- 
soil filled in the gravel and around the ball. Add peat 
moss to soil filled in around top six inches of hole and 
use liberally as a mulch in the irrigation basin. 
If your planting is maae in a lawn, be sure to keep 
the grass away from the base of the tree. Lawn should 
be permitted to grow only to the outer fringe of lower 
branches.
