So cool and restful in their green clothing, in winter their bare branches are a joy 
to every lover of nature. Nothing can compare to the majesty of a full-grown tree. 
Nature gives us trees to keep us from feeling too important, and whether we hear the 
winds whistling through their branches in a storm, or listen to a gentle breeze merely 
rustling their leaves on a summer day, they have a calming influence on the spirit of 
humanity. Plant trees, and as you learn to know and love them you will find life 
broader and richer from their influence. 
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 
water thoroughly so as 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 empha- 
size the necessity of a mulch after planting. This consists of straw (or similar mater- 
ial) 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.
