PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
We are interested in your success with every tree or plant we send out; we exercise the greatest care to 
place every item in the hands of our customers in the best possible condition, and in order to furnish some 
precautions and provide for complete satisfaction, we give a few hints on such points as are most essential. 
TIME TO PLANT—Trees and plants usually be- 
come dormant about the lst of November, and may 
be planted throughout the fall, winter and spring 
months. Fall and winter planting is preferred for 
the reason that the roots become established during 
the winter months, and are ready to make a vigor- 
ous growth when warm weather begins. However, 
excellent results are obtained with early spring 
planting. 
CARE OF TREES ON ARRIVAL—Unless you 
are prepared to plant them immediately upon ar- 
rival, dig a trench large enough to accommodate the 
roots; cut the bottom string, and spread the roots 
carefully, firming the soil about them. DO NOT 
PERMIT THE ROOTS TO DRY OUT OR FREEZE. 
PREPARING TREES FOR PLANTING—Don't 
fail to cut the top back (see illustration). This is 
necessary in order to balance the top with the loss 
of roots which always takes place when a tree is dug 
from the nursery. Trim each root back about one- 
ORDER BY MAIL WITH CONFIDENCE 
Ordering by mail from MOLLER’S catalog is a really 
pleasant way to shop. You can study carefully all the 
varieties and descriptions of various plants you wish 
_ to buy—all this while you are at ease in your own home 
- and with the assurance that you will receive QUALITY 
PLANTS at REASONABLE PRICES. 

half inch or so with a sharp knife, and cut off all 
broken or bruised roots. 
PLANTING—Dig the hole larger than is nec- 
essary to admit all the roots in their natural position ; 
then having the tree pruned as directed, hold it in 
an upright position, and shovel the soil, carefully 
putting the finest and best dirt from the surface in 
among the roots, bringing every root in contact with 
the soil, firming gently with the foot. The tree should 
be planted about the same depth it was in the nursery 
row; this may be determined by the change of color 
in the bark. 
Commercial and natural fertilizers are valuable 
when properly used. Do not let strong fertilizers 
come in direet contact with the bare roots. 
WATERING— Artificial watering is highly de- 
sirable. Do not sprinkle, but give the plant all the 
water it will take at one time. No more water need 
be applied for several days when this is done. 
SPRAYING—Fruits of best quality cannot be ex- 
pected without following a good spray program. We 
suggest writing or consulting with your County 
Agriculture Agent, who will be pleased to give you 
any information you may need on this subject.
