These beautiful trees may be seen in their glory during the blooming season throughout 
this vicinity. Everyone who has seen them has a deep desire to possess the same thing for 
himself. 
Planting. To insure successful results the ground should be well prepared before plant- 
ing, enriching, if necessary, with well-decayed manure which should be well mixed. The hole 
should be dug at least two feet wider than the diameter of spread of the roots of the tree 
planted and about one inch deeper than the nursery soil line indicated on the stem. The 
roots should be spread out in a natural way, filling in with fine soil, and pouring in several 
buckets of water to run the soil to the roots. It is advisable to stake trees to prevent wind- 
shake until they attach themselves to the ground. Also we want to emphasize the necessity 
of a mulch after planting. This consists of straw (or similar material) placed around the base 
of the tree about 6 or 8 inches high and a little wider than the width of the hole. 
Allow this 
to stay on one year and it will practically insure the tree's life.
