Notes on Planting - 
Plant the trees immediately upon arrival if possible. If the 
plants should come to you in a rather dry condition it may be well 
to immerse the roots in water before planting. We pack to have the 
plants arrive in good condition, but they may be delayed in transit 
or subjected to over~heating which is bevond our control after they 
leave our hands. If soil is too wet for iiimediate planting, heel 
the trees in - temporarily plant - in another location, or unwrap 
the package and inspect the trees to see if they are sufficiently 
moist, add water to the packing material if necessary, then rewrap 
and store in a cool cellar until weather permits planting, 
DISTANCE TO PLANT. Filberts for screen hedge, 6 ft. apart. 
In orchard formation about 25 ft. apart. Chestnuts in orchard 
planting about 40 ft. apart for the permanent planting. 
_ Dig holes large to allow the roots to rest in a natural 
position. U.@ a good top soil to fill in and tamp the earth 
solidly about the roots, Don't use manure or coarse material about 
the roots. Don't put fertilizer in immediate contact with the 
roots. When the soil has been filled in to within three inches of 
the surface, you may use from one to several buckets of water 
around the tree, depending on the size of the tree and the amount 
of water recuired to souk to the bottom of the tree roots. When 
the water has soaked in, fill in the balance of soil, leaving a 
depression of about an inch uround the tree, shaped like a saucer, 
so that rain water will collect to the tree rather than run away. 
Plant about the same depth as the tree stood in the nursery, or 
not more than one inch deeper, 
truning the tree. If you have not reguested this done at 
the nursery, trim your tree to balance the loss of fine hair roots 
andyio, force new growth on the tree, (If tree is planted in fall, 
let stand as planted end remove the top in early spring before 
growth starts. If planted in soring, trim tree as soon as planted.) 
Remove any undesirable branches, and cut off about 1/3 of the 
previous season's growth. With filberts, trim the side branches 
back so that an outside bud is left to make the main growth again. 
This will give a better shape to the vlant than to have the 
branches grow towurd the center. 
Training the Chinese chestnut tree, This should be trained 
with a low head similar to e low-headed epple tree. In planting ~ 
small trees, usually the side branches are all that is necessary 
to trim off, leaving a straight stem for planting,
