a tree planted a year later, and the difference 
is not tne 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 tnose placed during the rush 
season are sent out in the order they are re- 
Gelyed: 
A liberal discount will be allowed on advance 
orders, aS these are a Saving to me in advertis- 
ing and correspondence auring the rush season. 
Also by placing orders in advance you are sure 
of peing 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 usualiy start shipping in Spring as eariy in 
Marcn aS weatner Wii permit asa coutinue un- 
til apcut the first of May, though wou:d advise 
tnose ordering, especially irom south or here, to 
piant by middte of April. 
ta.l snipping starus as soon as leaves are off 
in October, and is continued until cold weather. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL 
If conditions will not permit piant.ung when 
trees are received, unpack and heel them in a 
trench, not putting tncin more than two deep. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Have holes dug before taking trees out for 
planting. The holes should be deep and large 
enougn to aliow 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 .rom 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 soi!, 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- 
nure 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 fertilizat:on. It is well, in tne spring before 
time for dry weather to mulch trees well to keep
