TIPS ON PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS 
Anyone can plant trees and shrubs if ordinary care is taken. 
Dig a hole that will give at least 6 inches of loose soil around 
the ball of the plant to be planted. If bare root trees are 
being planted, the same precautions should be taken. Roots 
should not be crowded in the hole. Plant to about the same 
depth that plants are in the can, For the best results use peat 
moss around the plant, mixing with the loose soil. For some 
plants that require drainage, it will be necessary to dig a 
deeper hole and put sand and gravel in the bottom. 
Deciduous shrubs and trees must be pruned before planting. 
Our salesman will be glad to do this for you or instruet you 
how to do it. 
If manure is well rotted, it could be used around plants, 
but if there is any doubt about it being old, use it as a mulch 
on top after the plant is planted. 
After planting soak tree or shrub well, being sure that all 
loose soil is well settled. Refill with more soil if necessary.
