HANDLING and PLANTING TIPS 
1. Water plants in the packages as soon as you pick them up. 
Do not allow the roots to dry. 
. “Heel-in” plants until you are ready to plant. 
. Carry plants for planting in a pail half full of water. 
. Dig only as many plants as can be planted in one hour. 
. Dig holes large enough to permit the roots to spread out 
in a normal manner.

Spacing 
All trees and shrubs planted in the shelter belt should be staggered 
to fill up the gaps and thereby to more effectively check the wind. The 
spacing between the rows is shown in the plan on page 23. The distances 
may be extended by 2 to 4 feet in the main windbreak (rows 3 to 10) if 
space is available. The trees or shrubs used in the snow catch (rows 1 and 2) 
should be planted 4 feet apart in the row; all other trees should be 
planted 6 feet apart in the row. The trees in rows 3 and 5 may be cut 
for fuel cr posts whenever they begin to crowd the more hardy, long-lived 
trees in rows 4 and 6.

ORDER EARLY 
The best time for planting the shelter belt is early spring Just 
after the frost goes out of the ground. Place your order early 
in the winter, so that shipment can be made at the best pos- 
sible time for planting. This will also give greater assurance 
that your order will be filled. 
NUMBER TO ORDER 
The spacing of the trees and shrubs is standard, so the num- 
ber will depend on the length of shelter belt needed to give 
your farmstead adequate protection. You will find it desirable 
to add 10 per cent to your estimates. These extra trees and 
shrubs can be planted in some convenient place for sub- 
sequent use in making replacments.
