Planting Nursery 
Stock 
Most nursery stock can be planted in 
either spring or fall with equal success. 
Spring planting starts as early as the 
ground is in good “working” condition. 
Stock may be planted as long as it is dor- 
mant, but the earlier it goes in the better. 
Evergreens must be planted before any new 
growth starts. 
Fall planting of evergreens starts in early 
August and continues until freeze-up, but 
the fall planting of shrubbery and other 
deciduous stock does not usually start until 
early October, or as soon as the plants be- 
come dormant. 
Bare roots of plants must be protected at 
all times from undue exposure to sun and 
wind, as even a small amount of “drying 
out” will definitely impair the chances of 
the plant making a satisfactory growth. 
The hole for planting should be larger than 
the spread of the roots and only the best 
black topsoil should be used around its 
roots. It is safest not to use any manure 
in the hole, although pulverized peat mixed 
with the soil may be highly beneficial. The 
roots should be well spread, the soil worked 
carefully around them (avoiding air pock- 
ets) and then well firmed by tramping or 
by “water packing” with a running hose.
