a tree planted a year later, and the difference 
is not the amount of the iirst, but always the 
amount of the last crop borne. 
WHEN TO ORDER ; 
Early ordering of trees is advised. Orders 
placed well in advance of shipping season, will 
be shipped on any date requested, weather per- 
mitting, while those placed during the rush 
season are sent out in the order they are re- 
ceived, . 
A liberal discount will be allowed on advance 
orders, as these are a saving to me in advertis- 
ing and correspondence during the rush season. 
Also by placing orders in advance you are sure 
of being in time to get the size and varieties 
wanted, as later, stocks of some kinds are often 
exhausted. | 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Nut trees may be planted either Spring or Fall. 
I usually start shipping in Spring as early in 
March as weather will permit and continue un- 
til about the first of May, though would advise 
those ordering, especially from south of here, to 
plant by middle of April. 
Fall shipping starts as soon as leaves are off 
in October, and is continued until cold weather. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
If conditions will not permit planting when 
trees are received, unpack and heel them in a 
trench, not putting them more than two deep. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Have holes dug before taking trees out for 
planting. The holes should be deep and large 
enough to allow all roots to be placed in their 
natural position. 
Take out only a few trees at a time to be 
planted and while one is being planted protect 
the roots of others irom sun and wind by wrap- 
ping in wet burlap. Do not at any time expose 
roots to the sun and wind any more than is ab- 
solutely necessary. 
Cut off ends of all bruised or broken roots, 
as a fresh cut will callous over quicker than an 
old one. 
Fill in around roots with well pulverized dirt, 
using only top soil, and firm the dirt well about 
the roots, being sure to not leave any air spaces. 
| Plant trees about the same depth as they grew 
in the nursery, not more than two or three 
_ Inches deeper at most and do not use any ma- 
_ hure where it will come in contact with the roots. 
_._ Remember that a tree is a living plant and 
_ that its future depends on the care you give it 
_ from the time it comes into your possession. 
AFTER CARE 
| Nut trees will readily respond to cultivation 
and fertilization. It is well, in the spring before 
_ time for dry weather to mulch trees well to keep
