PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
The holes for planting must be large enough 
to receive the roots freely, without cramping 
or bending them from their natural position. 
All broken or mutilated portions of the roots 
must be cut off so as to leave the ends smooth 
and sound. All trees should be planted two 
or three inches deeper than they stood in the 
nursery row; pack the soil very firmly about 
the roots by tramping with the feet, being 
careful not to bark or break the roots. Leave 
three inches of the surface soil loose to serve 
as a mulch. If the ground is very dry apply 
one or two pails of water before this soil 
mulch is in place, and after the water has 
soaked away it can then be placed over the 
moist soil, Never put manure so as to come 
in contact with the roots of any plant or tree. 
Plant any time from October 15th to March 
15th, weather permitting.

HANDLING NURSERY STOCK UPON ARRIVAL—Receive your stock without delay and plant 
just as soon as possible. If weather conditions do not permit immediate planting or should 
planting be delayed more than one or two days, unpack stock, dip the roots in water, then 
heel-in in a well drained location, having the earth tramped solid about them. Stock which 
seems somewhat dry upon opening should be buried in wet soil for a day or so to liven 
stems before planting. CLAIMS—Claims, for any reason, must be made in writing promptly 
upon receipt of the stock.
