PLANTING FRUIT TREES 
Planting. Dig holes large enough to spread roots 
without crowding—put top-soilin one pile, with sub- 
soil in another. Break up sub-soil in bottom of hole. 
Put 3 or 4 inches of top-soil in bottom of hole and 
set tree on it. Plant tree 2 inches deeper than it 
grew in the nursery, with the bud or graft about 2 
inches below the ground level. Fill hole 2/3 full of 
top-soil firmly tramped around roots. Pour in a 
bucket of water. After water seeps away, fill hole 
with soil, well tramped. Leave a “saucer” depres- 
sion around tree to catch rain. 
Some varieties are rather crooked when young. 
Set the tree as straight as you can. Nature will 
straighten it up as it grows older. 
PLANTING DWARF PEAR AND APPLE TREES 
In planting Dwarf Trees it is best to leave the 
joint, where the bud was placed in the rootstock, 
at ground level. This is to prevent the top or scion 
part from taking root and reverting the tree to 
standard growth. 
IMPORTANT 
DO NOT FORGET that it takes time for trans- 
planted Nursery Stock to show signs of life. We 
ask you not to be impatient because it often takes 
several weeks of care before results are noticeable.
