PLANTING GUIDE 
When trees are received unpack them with 
care.-. Immediately heel them in the ground. 
As soon as possible dig the holes where the 
trees are to be planted. This hole must. be 
large énough to spread all the roots out. 
Plant nut trees as deep.as they were in the 
nursery. A dirt line will indicate where on 
the bark. If they are set a little deeper no 
harm::is “done;. but do not set them shallow. 
The best fertilizer is well-rotted cow manure 
mixed: with one good handful of agricultural 
lime for each tree. Mix this into the soil 
you use for planting the tree. Put a layer of 
this mixture into the hole; spread the roots 
on this and continue to fill the hole until top 
levei is reached. While putting soil in, firm it 
around the tree and finish up by-‘building a 
saucer-shaped ring around the tree for water. 
Nut trees need water and good air circula- 
tion. «-€hoose a high elevation if possible and 
do. not. fear cold weather.- «It will not harm 
them. Any place you would consider proper 
for a peach orchard will be ideal for nut trees 
also. _ Spring is the favorite planting time.
