TREES ARE AMONG OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSETS. Care should 
be taken to select healthy nursery stock. It should be properly 
planted in good soil. Dig large holes and water in thoroughly. 
Before planting, cut back the top. 
Maintenance of our trees means thorough-going care. They 
should be fed, watered and cultivated as necessary. Pruning 
and shaping properly to prevent storm damage and decay is 
important. Tree surgery is indicated when cavities open up due 
to injuries. Openings should be sealed to keep out water and 
stop further decay, a suitable surface provided for camb:um to 
grow over. This prevents entrance of insects causing further 
damage. 
There are many unfavorable conditions whic’ must be met 
in this region if our trees are to survive. Lack of sufficient water 
from rain, snow, or irrigation and lack of birds to control pests. 
Dry air and hot sun which imported trees do not like. Freezing 
and thawing, and extreme warm and cold spells in spring. Lack 
of natural leaf-mould to retain and conserve water and to supply 
needed food. 
There are also conditions resulting from leakage of gas from 
underground pipes, damage from rubbing wires, injuries from 
nails, wires and other means. All these conditions must be met 
if our trees are to survive. We are equipped to help you meet 
these needs.
