PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Shade trees are planted in the same manner 
as fruit trees. Holes deep and wide enough to 
allow plenty of room for roots. Digging the 
tree holes a few inches deeper than really 
necessary permits filling in of loose soil in the 
bottom, in which the new rooting will take 
place quicker and surer. Soil to be used any- 
where near the roots must not contain fresh 
fertilizer. Ordinary top-soil is best. Always cut 
the ends of the roots just before planting, mak- 
ing a slanting cut with a sharp knife. New 
roots develop more rapidly from these fresh 
cut surfaces. .
