PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
When to Plant 
Spring planting season is from March 15 to 
June 1. Fall planting is quite satisfactory when 
larger transplant stock is used, and when the site 
is fairly dry. Never attempt to plant in the fall on 
moist sites as the trees will be heaved out of the 
ground by the action of the frost on the soil. Fall 
planting season is September 1 to November 1, or 
betore the ground freezes. 
Preparations for Planting 
It is not necessary to prepare the soil in any way 
before planting. Plowing before planting often al- 
lows too much settling after planting, leaving the 
trees lying upon the surface. Sod and weeds in the 
planting site conserve moisture, and shade the 
young trees during the hot months of the first few 
seasons after planting. Do not fertilize before, dur- 
ing or immediately after planting as the fresh fer- 
tilizer invariably burns the tender roots. Fertilizer 
as a top dressing around the trees may be added 
several years after planting if desired. 
When your trees arrive UNPACK AT ONCE. 
This is very important. While trees are out of the 
ground they must be handled very carefully. Do not 
expose the roots to sunlight or drying winds, or 
the crees will be seriously injured or killed. Dig 
a trench deep enough to accommodate the roots and 
long enough to hold the trees. This trench should 
be near the planting site in a shaded location such 

as the north side of a building or woods, and ac- 
cessible to water if possible. Your trees will come 
packed im crates or cartons with the roots wrapped 
in moist moss and the tops dry. Remove all of this 
packing material and’ place the bundles of trees in 
the trench, packing LOOSE soil tightly around the 
roots so that. air is excluded. If the soil is dry, 
water them after “‘HEELING-IN.”’ When planting 
carry a tew bundles of trees in an ordinary water 
bucket with the roots immersed in thick, soupy 
mud. This mud mixture will adhere to the roots, 
and while planting will dry slightly on the surface 
conserving necessary moisture in contact with the 
root itself. 
How to Plant 
A mattock is the best tool for tree planting. Dig 
a hole deep enough to accommodate the roots, and 
large enough to allow for spreading out the roots. 
See Figure (A). Next take a tree from the bucket 
and place it in the hole so that when the hole is 
filled the tree will stand as deep or preferably 
to 34 inches deeper than it was in the nursery. 
Spread out the roots as. much as possible, never 
curl them up in a ball. Then fill the hole partially 
and pack soil firmly about the roots with hand or 
mallet. Then fill the hole completely, leaving a 
slight depression to catch rain water. Avoid using 
stones and pieces of sod in filling the hole as these 
make air pockets that are detrimental to the suc- 
cessful establishment of the seedling. Careful spread- 
ing of roots, and tight packing of good soil around 
the roots will insure success with planting. 

Ce) 
(A) Dig large holes. 

One man goes ahead and digs the holes, the other 
two follow with buckets of trees and plant them in 
the holes. In planting more extensive tracts ten men 
will work to the best advantage. Three men go 
ahead in a parellel line digging the holes. Two 
planters follow each digger setting the trees. The 
tenth man follows the ciew with two buckets of 
trees and replenishes the planters’ buckets as neces- 
sary; also to observe that no more than one tree 
is planted in each hole, to watch spacing, to see 
that trees are planted properly, aod to keep the 
crew going as rapidly as possible. 
Experienced crews can plant an average of 
1,000 trees per man, per day. 
Spacing 
Where thinning is to be done at a comparatively 
young age (4 to 5 years) as with a Christmas Tree 
plantation, spacing is 3’ by 3’ for Spruce or 5’ by 5’ 
for Pines. With a forest plantation when no thin- 
ning is intended for 20 to 25 years, 6’ by 6’ or 
8' by 8’ is recommended. 

Number of trees required per acre for dif- 
ferent spacings: 
3x 3 — 4,840 
4x4 — 2,722 
5x5 — 1,742 
6 x 6 — 1,210
