Planting Instructions: 
_ Trees and shrubs should be planted so that the roots will grow into 
good top loam soil. Dig the hole large enough so the roots will not be 
crowded. Take clay and bottom soil out of the hole and replace with 
good soil. Care must be taken in using fertilizer, both commercial and 
green barnyard, as it will burn the roots if putin direct contact. Usually 
it is better to mix the fertilizer with the soil above the roots and allow 
the rain to wash it in, or wash it in with a hose. Many people try to be 
too good to their trees and kill them with fertilizer.
