Planting. To insure successful results the ground should be well prepared before 
planting, enriching, if necessary, with well-decayed manure which should be well mixed. 
The hole should be dug at least two feet wider than the diameter of spread of the roots 
of the tree planted and about one inch deeper than the nursery soil line indicated on 
the stem. The roots should be spread out in a natural way, filling in with fine soil, and 
pouring in several buckets of water to run the soil to the roots. It is advisable to stake 
trees to prevent windshake until they attach themselves to the ground. Also we want 
to emphasize the necessity of a mulch after planting. This consists of straw (or similar 
material) placed around the base of the tree about 6 or 8 inches high and a little wider 
than the width of the hole. Allow this to stay on one year and it will practically insure 
the tree’s life.
