ing. Give them a light application of Young Tree Grower 
each five or six weeks after planting throughout the first 
growing season. It will certainly pay. 
ae If planting is done in the winter, it is usually best to 
| water the trees well and then “bank” them with dirt free 
of trash to a height of about 12 inches. Take the banks 
down after danger of freezing weather, usually about 
March 1st to 10th. Fertilize and cultivate the trees im- 
mediately. The banks will protect the trunks in the event 
of a freeze and cause the trees to sprout out first near 
the top which is quite desirable. It also conserves moisture

waterings.

throughout rae Feet summer and fall. If this cannot be 
done, keep weeds and grass down around the trees by shal- 
low hoeing several times the first year. Grass and weeds
