To Our Friends: 
We wish to thank our many friends and cus- 
tomers for their splendid cooperation and pa- 
tronage during the past year. 
We assure you that we are selling only the 
best plants available. All our plants are grown 
at our nursery, with the exception of a few 
items. 
PROPER PLANTING 
First of all, do not put manure in the holes 
you dig for nursery stock, and dig your holes 
plenty big. Trees, shrubs and flowers require 
immediate and careful attention for successful 
results in planting. They must not be exposed 
to the wind or sun before planting, and should 
be cultivated and watered after planting to as- 
sure quick establishment. 
PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS 
Set trees one or two inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery. As shown by the collar or 
bark at the top of roots. Shrubs should be set 
the same depth or slightly deeper than in the 
nursery. Spread the roots naturally and work 
in pulverized soil about the roots, tramping 
firmly with the feet. Water well before hole 
is filled with soil, fill the hole level. Do not 
mound up, but make a pool to hold the water. 
Don't tramp down top soil, leave it loose to pre- 
vent baking and cracking. Evergreens should 
be set a trifle lower than they stood in the 
nursery. Dig the hole a foot larger than the 
ball of earth about the roots, and fill in with 
good loamy soil, packing firmly and settling 
by filling hole with water. Loosen burlap at the 
top of ball and roll back, but don’t remove en- 
tire burlop covering. Make a little pool to hold 
the water.
