Mix deciduous trees with evergreens in 
reforestation planting. Plant these trees 
for shade, timber, fuel, to help feed springs, 
to stop soil erosion, to provide homes for 
birds and wild life. 
How to Plant Seedlings 
If your ground is suitable use a plow, 
open a deep furrow. If not possible to use a 
plow, then stake your ground off in rows 
and set with a digging hoe. Be sure the roots 
have ample depth, pack the soil with foot 
about the roots, in order to close up air 
pockets. When your trees arrive they will 
be in bundles. Open a trench and place the 
roots in the trench and fill dirt about the 
roots. In case the weather is bad you can 
keep the plants in good condition.
